Dauntless, the free-to-play action RPG developed by Phoenix Labs, is scheduled to shut down on May 29, 2025. The game will receive no additional content or updates, and will no longer be available to play after that date.

This announcement follows significant challenges for Phoenix Labs, including a major acquisition by a blockchain company, a problematic update, and substantial layoffs. In January 2025, the studio laid off a significant portion of its staff, which has impacted the game’s development and support.

For players who have invested time and resources into Dauntless, it’s advisable to prepare for the upcoming shutdown by exploring alternative games or platforms. While the closure is unfortunate, the gaming community continues to offer a variety of experiences to enjoy.
