The day has arrived and Dauntless is lastly out there on Steam. As a part of the two.0 “Awakening” replace, Phoenix Labs introduced the F2P monster-hunting recreation to the digital distribution platform after years of getting the PC model tied to the Epic Video games Retailer. Cross play and cross development throughout all platforms, together with consoles, is out there. Simply bear in mind, you’ll nonetheless have to create or hyperlink an Epic account to play, even whereas taking part in on Steam. The cross play choices are tied to that account. You needn’t have the Epic Video games Retailer put in, however you do want the account.
Anyway, other than a Steam launch, Awakening revamps a variety of Dauntless. This second revamping of all the recreation comes with the flexibility to hold two weapons and swap between them, a brand new Behemoth to hunt, a brand new looking floor changing the outdated Twilight’s Sanctuary, and large reworks to the sport’s development programs and a few monetization adjustments…together with the addition of loot packing containers.
A number of different issues from the earlier model of the sport have been eliminated, too. Lanterns are a factor of the previous, reforging is gone, and the a number of passes are scaled again to at least one cross.
As of server launch, there are queues, which I suppose must be taken as factor for a recreation that many thought may silently fade away. That’s till Phoenix Labs was bought by a blockchain-related firm (which can clarify among the monetization adjustments).
Whereas all returning gamers doubtless play by way of the present launcher, Steam Charts does have Dauntless at over 2K folks already, and it simply opened a couple of minutes in the past, so good luck to the workforce!
