Dauntless

Dauntless arrives May 21 on Xbox One, PS4, and Epic Games Store

The free-to-play monster-hunting game Dauntless has gained more than 3 million Slayers in the past year in beta form. And on May 21, Phoenix Labs will ship the game on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and on the PC via the Epic Games Store.

The company previously said the co-op game was coming out this summer, but it will arrive earlier than expected, thanks to an easier approval process on the consoles than expected, said Nick Clifford, director marketing at Phoenix Labs, in an interview with GamesBeat.
