In Dauntless, players take up the mantle of Slayers. These brave warriors fight for humanity’s survival against ferocious beasts known as Behemoths, whose savage hunger to drain the very essence, or aether, from the world puts every life at risk. Equipped with powerful armor and weapons, Slayers will join up with others and adventure across the Shattered Isles to battle Behemoths together. After each battle, Slayers bring their hard-earned spoils to the frontier city of Ramsgate to craft, enhance and customize their arsenal to take on the next challenging encounter.

The world of Dauntless has been shattered by a cataclysmic event, creating a vast array of uncharted and majestic floating islands. Behemoths, as cunning as they are vicious, consume the land, and it’s up to the Slayers to hunt them down before they destroy what remains of the world. Slayers will explore an ever-changing frontier, brimming with verdant flora and unique wildlife.

Slayers will also forge their legend through a robust Evergame experience that offers a multitude of challenges and activities once they complete the main campaign. From fiendish Dire Behemoths and heroic difficulties, to unique hunt modifiers encouraging Slayers to adapt their strategies, the Evergame offers a multitude of challenges and promises powerful rewards (including Exotic gear) to those who answer the call. The Dauntless experience will continue to offer players new and unique ways to engage with the world and community for years to come.

Phoenix Labs announced that Dauntless has officially surpassed 1 million active players following the online co-op action-RPG’s launch into Open Beta on May 24. This skyrockets Dauntless into a coveted space amongst popular online PC titles, and the team is excited to continue the journey with their current player base and the tens of thousands of new players joining up daily.

The Dauntless Open Beta has exceeded all of our expectations. From the number of Slayers that have arrived to forge their legends, to their determination to stand against the Behemoth onslaught, to the unique creations that Dauntless players are creating — we’re blown away.

These numbers speak for themselves, so we’ll leave you to it. Suffice to say, thank you for being here and for your dedication. Here’s to the next million Slayers in Ramsgate.

The 1 million+ Slayers journeying across the Shattered Isles together have also hit a number of milestones and completed some monumental achievements in the two short weeks of the Dauntless Open Beta, including:

• 50k+ new slayers enlisted every day
• 22+ million Slayers fallen in combat
• 6.3+ million hours played, with 152 minutes per session on average
• 7+ million weapons forged
• 6+ million Behemoths slain!

Phoenix Labs has a number of additions coming to the Dauntless live service experience in the coming months, the first of which is a new expansion coming in August. Players can expect new weapons, Behemoths, and adventures across the Shattered Isles for months to come.

In Dauntless, Slayers can go at it alone or join cooperative parties with up to four people to take on the Behemoth threat. No two encounters are alike - each brings its own unique challenges and rewards. To survive on the Shattered Isles, players collect rewards from their hunts to upgrade their arsenal of weapons and armor in a deep and robust crafting system.

Dauntless features an innovative and robust ever-game experience which includes live service expansions and endgame activities that bring the world to life through regular content updates, events and more.

The team at Phoenix Labs (created by a team of industry veterans from BioWare, Riot Games, and other acclaimed studios) is committed to building Dauntless as an evolving experience. Expect new expansions, adventures, deadly Behemoths and more - all on a regular basis and all free-to-play.
