Dauntless - Important Update - Steam News
Surprised it took this long to happen. The game was already a shambling corpse after it got sold to a crypto company.
With Wilds around the corner this makes the perfect sense
Let me guess, no refunds...
Well, apparently not what gamers want given that not even a million of the EU ones signed the petition to force EU to look at it.
A shame, but it's self-inflicted.
Played this ages ago when it was in closed-beta. It was... okay-ish? Hella grindy tho. Decided to wait a bit until they did more to the game, only for the game to go behind epic (IIRC) - and now I see a steam forums post it's going bye-bye? It moved to steam at some point? O_o
I guess the grindy game was pretty hard sell considering Monster Hunter exists.
Yeah it was pretty much an instanced version of Monster Hunter, but without lore, more grind, and without really anything to look forward to but learning the new monsters move repertoire. Idk, got super stale super fast for me.
