Phoenix Labs, after a widely blasted Awakening update and layoffs, will shut down Dauntless.
Phoenix Labs confirmed "unfortunate but necessary changes" as the studio lays off the majority of employees.Â
Phoenix Labs is vowing to work to regain the community's trust with apology following the release of Dauntless: Awakening attracted criticism (and review bombing) over reduced customization, monetization and paywalls, lootboxes, and broken systems.
Dauntless: Awakening is coming on December 5th, and the team is taking us into the new Behemoth, Karkonos, and more about the game's huge update.
Now that Phoenix Labs plans for Dauntless: Awakening this year, the latest devblog reveals majoroverhauls, new Behemoth, armor system, and a new approach to lootboxes.
Dauntless: Awakenng is still on the way, Phoenix Labs confirmed in a new development update that also covered lessons they learned from the PC beta for the big update, a launch window, and what's next.
