With three different game modes – “Giganto Games”, “Custom” and “Challenge” – this game fits every type of player, whether you’d prefer to play through the Giganto Games’ hilarious story, create your own personalised tournament, or engage in a friendly competition with friends or family. All 8 sports can be played in each game mode, with an additional mini-game “Giganto Mayhem” available only in Challenge Mode, where players can take control of the titular Giganto for the first time ever in a video game.
Stephanie Malham, CEO of Outright Games said: “It is a pleasure to work with our friends at Cyber Group Studios again and return to this world with Gigantosaurus: Dino Sports. The brand has grown so much since our first collaboration in 2020 and likewise, this is our most ambitious Giganto game yet, with dynamic, unique gameplay and a story that feels like an interactive episode for all fans to enjoy.”
Thierry Braille, Vice President Interactive and Videogame Division and Dominique Bourse CEO at Cyber Group Studios said: “We’re thrilled to be collaborating with Outright Games for a third video game in the Gigantosaurus series. While we explored the idea of a sports tournament in one episode of the TV series, we’re really excited to allow fans to experience the fun of the Giganto Games in a friendly competitive and fully interactive game, when Gigantosaurus: Dino Sports releases this summer.”
