GET READY FOR A GIANT-SIZED ADVENTURE - VIVA MEDIA
AND WHALEBOX STUDIOS ANNOUNCE GOLIATH
Giant Monsters Versus Giant Robots in An All-New Action Adventure Title Coming Winter 2016
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – June 08, 2015 – Everybody Makes Mistakes. You Make Giants – Publisher Viva
Media and independent videogame developer Whalebox Studio today revealed their new videogame
Goliath. Built by a small team with big ideas and big talent, Goliath is slated for release on Steam (PC),
Mac, and Linux in winter 2016 and explores the concept of survival in a world of giants, dropping players
into a world at war where massive monsters roam. Fortunately, players can build giants of their own!
Survive and search the world to discover the materials needed to craft tools and weapons, including
Goliaths – giant robotic suits that will help even the odds against the enormous creatures that rule the
land!
In Goliath, players find themselves in a mysterious land consisting of the jumbled fragments of a
hundred dead civilizations. Several powerful factions battle for control of this strange and broken world,
but even the mightiest amongst them tremble in fear of the monstrous giants that roam the land. To
survive among these giant creatures, players must scavenge for resources and materials needed to
create Goliaths to either use for battle or barter for their very lives. Starting with simple wooden
versions, players will learn to create dozens of Goliaths from a variety of materials: wood, stone, metal
and other more unique materials found throughout the world. The Goliaths can be customized and
outfitted with weapons to create loadouts for various situations and players’ battle preferences. But
giant robots won’t solve every problem. Players will also need to craft items and tools for basic survival,
build shelters and fortresses, and choose which factions to support in the war that’s sweeping across the
land.
Features
 Build A ‘Bot Factory: Learn how to create dozens of robotic Goliath suits from a variety of materials,
including wood, stone, metal and more. Each Goliath can be customized and equipped with a variety
of weapons – after players have learned how to craft them, of course.
 Survive A Savage Land: Gather materials to build the tools needed to survive, including healing
salves, protective fortresses and more. As players explore the world, they’ll learn more complex
recipes for better tools and weapons.
 Choose A Side: The world of Goliath is populated with several factions that vie for control of
resources and territory. These factions include humans, the sentient robotic beings The Created, the
demon-like Daemonari, and the elusive Forest Folk. Each faction can offer different strategic
advantages in unique weapon and robot plans, and players must carefully choose with which
factions to align themselves. Players can attempt to broker peace or rally their faction to accelerate
the war!
 Procedurally Generate World: Players will explore a unique world with every game, thanks to a
procedurally generated world.
 A Living World: Explore rolling prairies, dense forests, eerie swamps, frozen tundras and more, all
with a complete day/night cycle and dynamic weather. Weather and terrain will affect how each of
the robots performs, so players will need to make sure they have the right machine for the job!
 Co-Op and Competitive Multiplayer: Players can play through Goliath’s campaign with a friend in
cooperative gameplay or go head-to-head in arena combat!
