As a co-op monster hunting title, Dauntless will not be wasting players’ time with stomping out rat infestations or scavenging for boar livers. Instead, the game will be throwing adventurers into the deep end of the monster pool with truly large and terrifying opponents, such as Embermane.
Phoenix Labs wrote up a short lore piece on this fiery behemoth, which looks like the unholy combination of a rhino, cat, and bonfire: “What I could see of the creature was like an enormous cat, covered in leathery hide with a spiked frill and a single huge horn on its snout. It slipped back into the trees with a roar that shook the air itself and disoriented us all. The behemoth seemed to be everywhere and nowhere all at once.”
Dauntless is being made by former BioWare and Blizzard developers and should be coming to the PC in the first half of 2017. The title will be on display at PAX East in March.
