On the Vancouver morning we call up Phoenix Labs there are 87,000 people not playing Dauntless. Instead, they’re in the queue, waiting to join the game’s newly open beta.
“We thought on our best day there was no way we will beat 50,000 concurrent users, because that would be the second-largest game on Steam,” founder Jesse Houston tells us. “Our servers are on fire.”
“On fire in a good way,” marketing manager Nick Clifford interjects. “Most of us were up all night because we hilariously shattered all the forecasts we had set for ourselves. It’s a great problem to have.”
Over the subsequent weekend, the team have managed to bring that queue down to nothing - and drink “40 gallons” of coffee. But the question remains: why is Dauntless proving so popular?
If you're into Dauntless' gear grind, we've got a number of great PC RPGs for you.
This is a game about setting out into the forest to slay monsters: creatures with the bodies of bears and the heads of owls, over-large dogs with antlers, hovering insects with snake tails, pigs covered in porcupine quills - all rendered beautifully and at great scale.
“The fantasy of you and three of your friends beating up on giant behemoths is pretty strong,” Houston says. “There’s obviously one other very good game in the market, but there are not tons like this.”
