Last week, Phoenix Labs' long in beta game, Dauntless, finally launched across consoles and PC featuring full cross-platform play. Along with over 2 million beta players, the free-to-play Monster Hunter style game managed to pull in even bigger player numbers at launch, which caused plenty of server based login issues. While the team continues to work on the server issues, Phoenix Labs has also turned to improving the content side of the game and revealed what's coming next.

In a Tweet from over the weekend, the official Dauntless Twitter account provided a morning update for players currently hunting monsters. In addition to increasing the server capacity and fixing outstanding matchmaking issues, the game's roadmap was updated with new information on loadout presets. Now, players can save and swap between multiple gear and cell configurations, making it much easier to quickly swap to specific gear or weapons based on the monster being hunted.

The roadmap also details a ton of planned or upcoming improvements as well. Plans run from simpler things like a more detailed end of the hunt screen to being able to preview content like emotes inside of the store. Phoenix Labs is also planning a Mastery System, a reworked campaign, and a challenging Trials mode for veteran slayers.

New gameplay improvements are also on the way including a new element called Terra to join up with Blaze, Frost, and Shock. The Skraev behemoth model is also getting redone to better differentiate the different types and essentially making it look a bit fiercer. Weapon mods are also on the horizon, introducing specialized weapon parts earned through the previously mentioned Mastery System that lets players completely customize a full weapon category.

Phoenix Labs, an independent studio that came together with developers previously from Bioware, Riot, Capcom, and Blizzard, announced Dauntless over two years ago at The Game Awards. The title has gone through multiple beta tests since then and has seemingly benefited from the feedback and additional development time. As players continue to flock to the free to play game, it also doesn't hurt that Dauntless arrives during the lull that Monster Hunter: World is currently in before its big Iceborne expansion launches later in 2019.

Dauntless is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
