Free-to-play action RPG Dauntless will launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store on May 21, developer Phoenix Labs announced.
Dauntless is currently available for PC via PlayDauntless.com. Switch and smartphone versions are also planned for release later in 2019.
The May 21 launch will include “numerous” new improvements and content updates that recently launched in the PC open beta, including:
- The Mastery System – A new way for Slayers to hone their skills, earn experience, unlock achievements, and acquire new rewards. Each Behemoth and weapon has its own unique Mastery card for players to delve into.
- Massive Campaign Rework – Everything from questing and crafting to meeting other Slayers and pursuing Behemoths has received massive updates. The rework also introduces a brand new “End of Hunt” screen, providing Slayers with a wealth of information, including progress made in various Mastery cards, quest rewards, Behemoth break parts earned, and more.
Also due out at launch is “Hunt Pass Season 5: Hidden Blades,” which “transforms the world of Dauntless into a Moon Blossom Festival and offers Slayers a huge variety of thematic gear to flaunt their inner ninja.” As with previous Hunt Pass seasons, it features 50 levels of content across both the basic and Elite tracks, through which players can earn cosmetic rewards and premium currency.
Here is an overview of the game, via Phoenix Labs:
