Hope you like the color purple, Slayers, because Dauntless is awash with it in its latest Call of the Void update. This new release is promising “an evolving narrative” that will unfurl over the course of the update, culminating in changes over the weeks to come and “a big surprise” ahead of the game’s July update.
The marquee feature, meanwhile, is a new Umbral Escalation, which sees players taking a sojourn into the Umbral Deeps to face off against umbral-aspected versions of existing Behemoths as well as the all-new Thrax Behemoth fight. Success against Thrax will yield schematics and parts to craft new legendary weapons for each weapon type. These new items feature two prismatic cell slots, the ability to “bond” the weapon to another umbral weapon, and a legendary ability that allows Slayers to unleash a portal attack of their very own.
The update has also brought a new training ground that players can access at any time to let them get acclimated to weapons or refine their existing builds thanks to UI elements that break down stagger, part, wound, and base damage. There’s also a variety of other features like a Journal for lore details, a revamped UI, full Russian language support, and more.
Patch notes can be found on the website, a launch trailer is below, and you can also check out our advance look at the new Escalation and Behemoth for our impressions.
