Dauntless Founder’s Alpha Launch Date Announced

Phoenix Labs has announced the launch date of the Founder’s Alpha for their upcoming action-RPG Dauntless. The owners of the pricey Founder’s Packs will be able to start playing on August 18, 2017. The official announcement is quite transparent in that the main target audience of this Founder’s Alpha are the various streamers and content creators who benefit the most from the lifted NDA, and a blanket permission to capture and stream gameplay footage.

The announcement also mentions something called the Dauntless Partner Program. We don’t get an explanation as to what this program is exactly, only a couple of lines one could easily hear at some pyramid scheme seminar. But in all seriousness, it’s probably some sort of Twitch integration. Have a look:

FOUNDER’S ALPHA LAUNCH DATE

It’s been an amazing week for Dauntless at E3. We’ve talked to fantastic people who will soon begin sharing their experiences with Dauntless.

First, a huge thanks to all of the Slayers who have become Founders at every tier. With your help, we’re working every day to bring Dauntless to life. We are excited to see the amazing things that we’ll accomplish together.

We’re proud to announce that the Founder’s Alpha will launch on August 18th. Slayers who have purchased Founder-tier packs will be able to explore the Shattered Isles in this first publicly available version of Dauntless.

Furthermore, we’re excited to also announce that starting August 18th we will be lifting the NDA for new content, allowing anyone in the Founder’s Alpha to stream and capture content during the Founder’s Alpha. This means we’re looking forward to seeing what you’ll make Twitch, YouTube, and everywhere else you create and share.

CALLING ALL CONTENT CREATORS

We’re also excited to announce the Dauntless Partner Program. We have heard from so many passionate creators and artists who want to share their amazing work with the Dauntless community. This is an opportunity for Slayers across Twitch, YouTube, and other platforms to become part of the Dauntless family.

In the coming weeks, we will unveil details about what this program includes and open the program for applications. For now, if you are interested in being a content creator send a note to info[at]phxlabs.ca and we will keep you abreast of new information and opportunities.
