Dauntless Awakening Update Hits December 5—Now on Steam!

As the countdown to Monster Hunter Wilds continues, Dauntless is stepping up to keep hunters busy with the massive Dauntless: Awakening update, launching December 5. Not only is the game expanding its content, but it’s also making its long-awaited debut on Steam! This marks the start of a bold new era for Dauntless, packed with reimagined systems, fresh progression paths, and the return of fan-favorite gear. On top of all of the new content, they are also introducing not only Cross-Play but Cross-Progression!

What to Expect in Awakening

The update brings sweeping changes to weapons, armor, and gameplay progression. Veteran Slayers will find their inventories transformed, with retired Reforges being honored through exclusive rewards. Exotic weapons like The Godhand and The Hunger remain, ready to help you carve a path through the post-Awakening world. Meanwhile, the new leveling system allows for deep customization, and refreshed quests provide a cohesive introduction to these overhauled mechanics.

Arm yourself for the journey ahead with special migration bonuses, including Weapon Tokens, upgraded armor levels, and bonus Aetherite for seasoned players. Whether you're returning to Ramsgate or embarking on your first Behemoth hunt, Awakening offers a fresh start without erasing your past progress.

Ready Your Gear!

With downtime kicking off December 3 at 10 AM PT, now’s the time to tie up loose ends and prepare for the transition. Don't miss the extended Gregario's Treasure Hunt event (ending December 3), offering 2X XP to help you secure those final rewards before the new system takes over.

Slayers, the sky’s the limit in Dauntless: Awakening. Watch the new trailer and get ready to forge your legend in the Shattered Isles like never before!
