Dauntless is a free-to-play game. There is a Founders Pack that will get you into the action with a few extras, but you don't have to spend a dime to get in on the general action of the game with friends. There are over 15 unique creatures to hunt each with their own styles, threats, and properties to keep you on your toes.
When Twin Galaxies spoke with Phoenix Labs Head of Community Development Ian Tornay at PAX South 2018, Tornay discussed a robust and passionate community of players that constantly challenge the Phoenix Labs team to do more interesting things week after week. To that end, Tornay claimed Phoenix Labs has aimed to meet players at every end of their expectations, building onto the game with in-game events and systems that make it easy for groups of players to get together for everything from small parties and streaming, to guilds and events.
If Tornay and the Phoenix Labs are to be believed, the Open Beta will be a strong opportunity for PC players looking to get their monster hunting fix and join many other like-minded players in a lush and colorful cooperative experience when the Open Beta drops on May 24.
