Since 2019, the online monster-slaying game Dauntless has offered a free-to-play version of Monster Hunter’s charms, but that’s coming to an end later this year. On February 24, developer Phoenix Labs shared a surprisingly terse announcement on Steam, informing players that the game’s servers are shutting down at the end of May.
“Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025,” Phoenix Labs wrote. “Dauntless will receive no additional content or updates. The game will no longer be available to play on May 29, 2025.”
