While Many Are Celebrating the Imminent Release of Monster Hunter Wilds, Others Mourn the Upcoming Shut Down of Dauntless

As Monster Hunter Wilds approaches, there’s a buzz among players, old and new alike, eager to venture into the wilderness and eliminate the danger posed by creatures that are disrupting ecosystems. The anticipation for Wilds has soared with the launch of demos, special editions, and positive reviews. Yet, not everything is positive, as players who battle monsters are facing the closure of another game in this genre, Dauntless, which marks the end of an era for all Slayers of Ramsgate.

Noteworthy announcement: The gaming platform, Dauntless, will cease operation on May 29, 2025, at 11:45 PM Pacific Standard Time. From this date, no new content or updates will be provided for Dauntless.

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has been a part of the incredible journey with Dauntless.

Unexpectedly, information about the closure of the game “Dauntless” was posted on its official Steam page and social media platforms. What’s particularly striking is that this announcement came with minimal accompanying text:

“On May 29, 2025, Dauntless will cease operation. From this date forward, no new content or updates will be added to the game. The game itself will no longer be playable on May 29, 2025.

Initially, a significant number of players who played Dauntless some time back often expressed satisfaction with its gameplay formula. However, as new updates rolled out, the developers aimed to evolve the concept into an open world, which didn’t resonate with the original charm. Consequently, this shift led to an influx of negative reviews and a significant loss of players, eventually leading to the shutdown of Dauntless.

Although many people will be disappointed that they won’t be able to play this game anymore, since it brought them so much pleasure, most seem to understand and support the decision to close its servers. In fact, they are looking forward to the upcoming release of “Monster Hunter Rise” in a few days. Additionally, there are numerous discussions among players about other games such as “Wild Hearts”, “Oukiden”, “God Eater”, or “Soul Sacrifice”. These titles share a similar monster-hunting gameplay formula with the one they’re missing, offering an alternative for those who wish to explore more in this genre.
