Phoenix Lab’s Dauntless has officially launched on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the PC. It supports true cross-platform play, the first game to launch on the PlayStation 4 with the feature. On top of that, it even supports cross-progression as well.
When Dauntless was first announced, Phoenix Labs coined the phrase “One Dauntless” to personify its goal of cross-play.
“After a year in Open Beta and a ton of great feedback from over 3 million ‘Dauntless players,’ we’re proud to bring our game to console and expand our PC audience through the Epic Games Store,” said Houston. “When we first started talking about ‘One Dauntless,’ we knew it was a truly audacious goal. No one has ever launched on console with full cross-play support from the start, but we believed in our vision and, thankfully, our friends at Epic Games, Sony, and Microsoft did too. Keeping the community connected is one of o/strong>ur top priorities, and with all the new players coming in at launch, there’s never been a better time to be a Slayer in Dauntless.”
Dauntless invites players to team up with friends after a catastrophic event tears the world into the Shattered Isles. Beastly creatures known as Behemoths emerge from world-altering event, leaving the little that’s left of humanity without a way to fend for itself. This is where players come in, taking on the role of Slayers to combat the Behemoths and take back control of humanity’s fate.
The launch of the full game comes with some improvements, including a Mastery system which offers players chances to ” hone their skills, earn experience, unlock achievements, and acquire new rewards” according to a press release. The update also comes with a reworking of the campaign, including a new “End of Hunt” screen to show players their progress.
Ports for the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices are also in development, and cross-play will expand to those platforms, as well.
