　　Now Playing: Dauntless Running On Nintendo Switch | PAX West 2019

　　"Since launching on console earlier this year, we've continuously iterated and improved Dauntless for players worldwide. In Fortune and Glory, we introduced a brand new game mode--Trials--complete with rewards for even the most skilled of Slayers. With Aether Unbound, we’re expanding the world even more with the addition of the Aether Strikers, Tempestborne Stormclaw, the Bounty system and more," read a note from Phoenix CEO Jesse Houston. "Aether Unbound celebrates the culmination of the last 5 years of Dauntless development, but it is also the next step in our journey together. We have even more exciting content coming soon this year and beyond. More Behemoths, more weapons, more challenges, and more ways to slay."

　　Dauntless officially launched on consoles earlier this year, after a lengthy open beta on PC. The game has you hunting down fantastical beasts for bounties and loot, drawing comparisons to Monster Hunter.
