Dauntless’s open beta attracts over 1 million monster hunters

Phoenix Labs announced today that its cooperative PC game Dauntless has attracted over 1 million players during to its open beta. The testing for the action role-playing game began on May 24.

Dauntless is similar to Capcom’s Monster Hunter series, with players coming together to battle giant creatures. Monster Hunter is popular, especially with this year’s Monster Hunter: World, but it does not have much direct competition. Monster Hunter: World has sold about 8 million copies on PlayStation 4, but it is not out on PC until later this year. That gives Dauntless a window to attract that PC audience.
