On social media, the developer Phoenix Labs declared that the online monster-slaying game Dauntless would cease operations on May 29, 2025. The announcement follows the Awakening update, which received mixed responses from players. Originally launched in September 2019, Dauntless allowed gamers to unite in teams and combat formidable Behemoths. The game was once praised but faced backlash leading to negative reviews on platforms like Steam. Although the servers will shut down, another title from Phoenix Labs, a fantasy farming simulator named Fae Farm, remains available.
