Phoenix Labs has released the next major update for Dauntless with “Evolving Wilds,” continuing to enhance and expand the gameplay experience as the co-op action RPG continues the road to Open Beta. “Evolving Wilds” is the next expansion to combat in Dauntless with new Axe mechanics, enhanced Behemoth encounters, a full arsenal of War Pikes and improved hit and collision detection with destructible environments on their way. In addition, an updated tutorial and refinements to progression have been integrated, and there are now more reasons to explore the Shattered Isles with new points of interest with big rewards waiting to be discovered.
Dauntless is also now localized and available to experience in German, Spanish, Italian, French and Brazilian Portuguese. Phoenix Labs will soon be increasing global accessibility to Dauntless with servers in South America, Japan and Southeast Asia, and a better way to play with friends through the new cross-region matchmaking.
During the Dauntless Closed Beta phase, major updates have been issued to improve and expand the gameplay experience based on community feedback in preparation for the Open Beta. Dauntless will feature a robust ever-game experience that will continue to evolve the gameplay, world of Dauntless, and challenge Slayers with fresh and exciting new content through regular updates and events. A variety of new ever-game features will soon be introduced which include the new Reputation System and expanded hunt modifiers that will continue to grow as part of the Dauntless endgame experience.
Details on how the next major Closed Beta update in “Evolving Wilds” will change the way Slayers hunt and forge their legend in the Dauntless can be found below:
Redesigned Axe – The Axe is now even more about big damage and big risk, while adding additional mobility options. A new “armored” state called Resolve is applied to certain Axe attacks that allow Slayers to take damage if they are hit during an attack but continue their combo.
A Full Collection of War Pikes – Slayers can now craft a full collection of War Pike weapons. After slaying a Behemoths they can craft War Pikes that harnesses the raw, untamed power of that Behemoth.
Improvements to Behemoth Encounters – Earlier concepts for Behemoths have been revisited resulting in big updates to the Shrike, Skraev and Moonreaver Behemoths with Embermane, Quillshot, and more on the way. This makes hunting them more fun, challenging and learnable.
Dauntless Across the World – Players can now choose their language as Dauntless translation is nearly complete in German, Spanish, Italian, French and Brazilian Portuguese, with additional languages will be added in the future. Soon, regional support will be increased by adding local servers in South America, Japan and Southeast Asia and cross-region matchmaking will connect Slayers from around the world.
Revisiting Player Progression – A new tutorial system has been added to the game and Slayer training has been refined. For Open Beta this will be expanded with a cinematic introduction highlighting each Slayer’s story. Phoenix Labs will also continue to revisit daily and weekly activities giving Slayers more variety with better rewards as part of the Dauntless evergame.
Performance Enhancements – Slayers will notice improvements to performance in the hub city of Ramsgate and during hunts, more precise collision in combat and reduction in crashes.
