Evaluation

On February 24, 2025, Phoenix Labs officially announced that Dauntless would shut down permanently on May 29, 2025. The announcement stated the game would receive no additional content or updates and would no longer be available to play after that date. The game is currently not purchasable on Steam — no purchase options are available — confirming it has been delisted. Despite a hopeful relaunch as "Dauntless: Awakening" on December 5, 2024 (which brought the game to Steam for the first time and introduced a new season, new Behemoth, overhauled weapon systems, and a seasonal Hunt Pass), the game did not survive long after its relaunch. The shutdown announcement came just under three months after that relaunch, ending all development and player access.

A Behemoth Undertaking

Protect the Shattered Isles from over 40 different monstrous Behemoths in thrilling and rewarding boss-fight encounters. Combine preparation, skill, reflexes, and grit to save humanity from these insatiable beasts.

A Slayer Is Only As Good As Its Weapon

Master and level up an arsenal of unique weapons, each with unique Legendary abilities and Talents to help you slay Behemoths with power and style. Swap in your subweapon to harness powerful combos and give you the edge over your quarry.

Take Sweet Revenge
