Dauntless Shares Details of The Coming Storm Update

The folks at Dauntless have kind of teased the fact that The Coming Storm update for the online multiplayer critter slasher is coming, but that’s kind of it. Now, however, the team has pulled back a bit of the curtain on what’s next for the reported 2 million fans of the game.

The Coming Storm will arrive, apparently, with a rather literal bang as a massive Ostian Dreadnaught will crash into the gathering hub city of Ramsgate. Along with essentially changing the face of the location, this new arrival will bring new NPCs with new stories and quests for players.

Of course, in a game about hunting Behemoths, no update would be complete without a fresh terror to attack and The Coming Storm is providing with the arrival of Koshai, the Sovereign of Thorns. This creature’s arrival is so dramatic that it will even have some effect on the other Behemoths of the game, with promise of new forms of classic beasts to keep Slayers on their toes.

Facing down these new threats will require new gear, but mercifully the arrival of the Ostian Dreadnaught will bring plenty of new equipment for players to use. The Coming Storm will introduce new Grenades for players to huck at Behemoths, new weaponry and armor, and the all-new Ostian Repeaters ranged weapon.

All of this is due to arrive to Dauntless’ open beta on Thursday, August 9th.

Our Thoughts

Well, smashing a huge airship into your primary hub town is definitely one way to let players know the new content has arrived! We’re definitely looking forward to seeing more of what this new update will offer and expect further details as the weeks press on towards this release.
