Dauntless Comes to Nintendo Switch 1.1.0 Stormchasers Patch Notes
Dauntless has been released for Nintendo Switch today. It's finally left early access. Dauntless is a free-to-play action RPG similar to Monster Hunter. It's also available on PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4. Thoug hthose version all came out much earlier.
The 1.1.0 patch is for all platforms. Besides the obvious big upgrade to Dauntless being the Nintendo Switch release, some highlights from the new patch include Escalation, where you fight several monsters at a time. A new monster called Malkarion, Myth & Legend Hunt Pass, and a hud overall.
The new HUD looks great and is very clean without getting in the way.
For consoles, there's a new quick chat feature to compensate for the lack of a keyboard to type messages.
This is a great patch for Dauntless and is a very nice improvement to the game. While it's great it's finally released on the Nintendo Switch, don't let that news flood out the awesome patch notes and new features that came to Dauntless today.
