The next major expansion for Dauntless has been revealed as Fortune and Glory, which is set to land next week.
Launching before the game arrives on Nintendo Switch, the new update is bringing brand new activities to the game.
Lady Luck will be the head of a new Pirate Clan arriving on the Shattered Isles, complete with new challenges.
These will be available on the Island of Trials which will be launching alongside a new Hunt Pass, called High Skies: Fortune & Glory.
The new location will be home to the Trials Arena, which will pit players in groups or in solo mode to take on mighty beasts, revealed in a post from Phoenix Labs.
“If you’ve been looking for a way to prove your prowess, take it up with Lady Luck. She and her crew have towed an entire island to the edge of Ramsgate, eager to test the skills of the Shattered Isles’ most veteran Slayers,” a message from developers Phoenix Labs explains.
“And you will be tested. These Behemoths are enhanced by dangerous modifiers, making them deadlier than anything you’ve seen in the wild so far. Think Nayzaga with Ragetail Gnasher’s shockwaves and Shrowd’s near-sight vision.
“Just in case the promise of a good fight isn’t enough to bait your hook, Lady Luck also offers exclusive Trials rewards. New weapon mods, special moves, and “Yes, I am that good” cosmetics can be purchased with Marks – a new currency earned through Trials successes.
“Spend Steel Marks on combat-enhancing items and Gilded Marks on looking good. Save up enough, and you can even fill in a brand-new cosmetic slot.”
There will also be a new feature in “The Wall of Champions,” which celebrates the fastest completion times for each week’s Trial.
The new High Skies Pass will also be a little different from passed released, with Phoenix Labs confirming: “High Skies is our first-ever season to include not just one Hunt Pass, but two.
“Slayers will start with Fortune & Glory – a corsair-inspired Hunt Pass tied to Lady Luck’s arrival – and end (later on) with the Zephyr Strike Hunt Pass. Each pass will feature a full fifty levels, two tracks (Basic and Elite), and a treasure trove of themed rewards.
“They will also be timed in the same way as previous passes – Fortune & Glory will run from July 16 to some time in August, and Zephyr Strike will begin immediately after.”
The new Season of Dauntless content is scheduled to land next week on all platforms.
