Game-changing equipment is earnable in-game, but there are optional purchases in the form of cosmetic and vanity items. In Dauntless, players take on the role of Slayers - an elite band of monster-stabbing badasses - as they try to rid the Shattered Isles of creatures known as Behemoths. Over 100,000 players have opted in to the closed beta, while developer Phoenix Labs says that over 700,000 have signed up for the open beta already. It looks like it’s going to be popular, too. But from May 24, anyone can jump in to try it out.
The game has been in closed beta for some time already, with people opting in via the purchase of Founder’s Packs.
It’s a free-to-play take on the Monster Hunter formula from Riot, BioWare, and Capcom development veterans.
