Dauntless Launches Clear Skies Update
Phoenix Labs launched the 'Clear Skies' update earlier this week for Dauntless, the Monster Hunter inspired action RPG. The update introduces the totally revamped hub city of Ramsgate, a reworked sword kit, changes to Umbral Escalation, a new Hunt , and more.
The Ramsgate redesign showcases a completely new layout for the hub city, and features numerous points of interest and new structures housing Ramsgate’s denizens. The city now offers unique soundscapes for a variety of areas and NPCs, creating a more immersive Ramsgate experience. Players can also populate their journals by interacting with characters and objects to unlock lore about the Shattered Isles and its inhabitants. The city also now includes a racing mini-game, so players can challenge their friends to a footrace across the city.
The Sword has received a full design overhaul, and players can experience the new kit starting today. In addition to new combos, the sword now utilizes a Valour system built around 3 main components: core combos (which generate Valour), Valour combos (which cost Valour), and special meter (which lets players execute the currently-equipped special move). Valour combos open up a number of new combat actions for the sword, including an “area of effect” attack, as well as mid- and long-ranged attacks.
Dauntless remains one of the most popular Western developed free to play games with over 15 million total players as of late 2019. Dauntless is developed by the Vancouver, BC based game studio Phoenix Labs, which is owned by Garena, a Singapore based technology company.
