Gigantic was originally shut down 5 years prior, which was IMO a shame. The game was a really cool take on the genre which can be descined as a smooth blend between Smite and Overwatch.

The main gameplay mechanics contain:

-unique heroes with unique skills played in a 3rd person camera

-each skill of each hero had a unique skilltree which allowed most abilities to be rather versatile

-Capture the flag gameplay where captures points allow an full out attack on the enemy base which regulary enforces teamfights around the mayor objective

-3d enviroment where height and jumping cliffs matters and the mobility of heroes varies

As someone who tried getting into Overwatch 2 before Blizzard revealed it was all a sham 6 months before the "sequel" even dropped, this looks pretty interesting! I'll probably give it a shot.
