Will you be among the first members of the public to pick up your oversized weapon and go monster hunting in Phoenix Labs’ co-op RPG Dauntless? You might have a chance if you sign up for the alpha, which you can go ahead and do right now.
As the game eyes a 2017 release, there’s a lot of testing that needs to be done between now and then. First up are a series of invite-only alpha tests (covered by an NDA) that will take place over the next few months. These tests should begin in late April. After that will come the open beta “later this year” that will allow players to stream and discuss the title.
“Much like the floating islands of the Shattered Isles, Dauntless will shift, grow, and evolve over time,” the studio said in a press statement. “We will be rolling out our closed, invite-only alpha tests over the coming months to help us deliver the best experience possible to players later this year. As a prospective slayer, this is your chance to play Dauntless early and contribute to its development. We can’t wait to jump into the thick of battle and take down behemoths with you!”
Dauntless received Massively OP’s PAX East 2017 award for “Best Multiplayer RPG.”
