2019 video game
Dauntless was a free-to-play action role-playing game developed by Phoenix Labs. Either alone or in teams with others, players would fight enormous monsters called Behemoths.
The game initially launched in beta for Microsoft Windows, in May 2018. An early access version was published by Epic Games on 21st May 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, including full support for cross-platform play. The game was fully released for those platforms on 26th September 2019. The Nintendo Switch version was released on 10th December 2019. Versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released on 2nd December 2021.
Following the acquisition of Phoenix Labs by a blockchain company in 2023, most of the development team were made redundant by January 2025. As Dauntless was a live-service game with no offline content, the game was discontinued when its servers were shut down on 30th May 2025.
