A
new patch is now
live for
Dauntless, updating the open beta of this co-op action/RPG to version
0.9.0. Phoenix Labs calls this content update
"Fortune & Glory," as it adds trials and a new hunt pass season. They also
announce the game has now attracted more than 12 million players. Here's
a trailer, and here
are some details:
“Fortune & Glory” provides Slayers with a formidable new challenge in the
form of Trials. The Trials experience is a new gameplay offering from Lady Luck,
an enigmatic figure who arrives in Ramsgate with a mysterious island in tow.
Trials will pit adventurous Slayers against dangerous, modified Behemoths and
all-new environmental challenges, like terrain-transforming pests. With the
clock ticking through each hunt, it will be up to Trials challengers to prove
that they can execute under pressure. Trials are split into two difficulty
levels: "Normal" and "Dauntless." Completing “Normal” difficulty Trials nets
Slayers with Steel Marks, used to purchase unique rewards such as weapon mods
and alternate special attacks, while completing “Dauntless” difficulty Trials
rewards Slayers with Gilded Marks: currency used to purchase exclusive cosmetic
rewards that showcase more advanced accomplishments. Both Steel and Gilded Marks
are exclusive to Lady Luck’s shop, and can only be earned through Trials.
Slayers can see how they stack up to Trials competition by viewing the Wall
of Champions outside Lady Luck’s shop in Ramsgate. The wall displays a list of
the top performers in both solo and group hunts. And because Trials rotate on a
weekly basis, there's always a chance for Slayers to see new names -- or even
their own -- on the wall.
“Fortune & Glory” marks the beginning of the “High Skies” season in
Dauntless. It will include two consecutive Hunt Passes complete with new and
stylish content. The first Hunt Pass is marked by a swashbuckling pirate theme,
and Slayers will quickly familiarize themselves with Lady Luck and her corsair
fleet. “Fortune & Glory” offers 50 levels of content to unlock and numerous
cosmetic and consumable rewards to earn. Slayers can look forward to more
adventures and content as the “High Skies” season continues later this summer.
