It is probably safe to say that Dauntless will live or die based on the strength of its multiplayer component. Ergo, it is in the studio’s best interest to facilitate matchmaking and empower player connections from all across the world.
To assist with this, Phoenix Labs is going to remove regional access to create “truly worldwide play.” While you’ll be automatically placed on a server that’s geographically close to you, you won’t be restricted from teaming up with others in different countries and continents. This is thanks to additional dedicated servers around the globe and an improved friends list to help you keep track of those helpful chums you encountered along the way.
Another effort the developers are making is to ratchet up the gameplay performance with “better framerates, tighter hit detection, improvements to collision with the Behemoths, and a more stable experience in general.”
Dauntless has also expanded its language selection to include French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
