Dauntless Becomes First Game To Launch With PS4 Cross-Play
Dauntless has fulfilled its "One Dauntless" promise as it launches today with full cross-play and cross-progression on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on the Epic Games Store and is the first game to launch with this functionality for PS4.
Phoenix Labs' free-to-play co-op action-RPG Dauntless' promise of a "One Dauntless" for all players around the world to play together, no matter where they play, was a "truly audacious goal," but one that was very important for the team in its mission.
“When we first started talking about ‘One Dauntless,’ we knew it was a truly audacious goal," Jesse Houston, CEO and co-founder of Phoenix Labs said. "No one has ever launched on console with full cross-play support from the start, but we believed in our vision and, thankfully, our friends at Epic Games, Sony, and Microsoft did too. Keeping the community connected is one of our top priorities, and with all the new players coming in at launch, there’s never been a better time to be a Slayer in Dauntless.”

There are basically two slogans every citizen of Westeros seems to have taken to heart - "All men must die" and "Winter is coming." And if the series has taught us anything over the past eight years, it's that both are very, very true. The coming of winter has been a common theme in the series from the beginning, with the Starks and other Great Houses preparing for what they fear will be the coldest, most devastating winter in living memory. And given that seasons in this fantasy world can last years - or even a full generation in the case of the infamous "Long Night" 8000 years ago - the coming of snow is something to be feared.
