As of 6:30 PM PDT today, we will be bringing all Dauntless servers offline. They will not be back up until May 21.

This decision hasn't been an easy one to make. In order to prevent servers from hurting on May 21, we've been doing some critical load testing. Unfortunately, that testing has proven to be too much for our live servers. In order to complete our preparations for Tuesday, we need to take our game offline.

To those of you who are now cut off from finishing your Hunt Pass: We are working on a way to grant you all of the remaining rewards. We still have to work out the specifics, but we'll share them as soon as they're good to go.

We know it's been a bumpy couple of weeks, so thank you for riding it out with us. We'll see you all on May 21.

What about the Hunt Pass things in the shop? Those were available until the 20th. I was unable to retrieve them until tomorrow, but if Dauntless is offline until the 21st, I won't be getting them at all

For that exact reason, we will give you an opportunity to buy those things [for at least part of] next season as well.

Word has it Euan claims any shrike is a shrike too many. Its said he sleeps with a broom next to him so he's ready for duty anytime. :P

Please, I'm civilised.

I keep a hammer beside me.

So, how do we connect our dauntless accounts to Epic Games accounts? Will there be instructions on may 21st, or will it happen automatically?

You'll be prompted to connect your account when you log in for the first time!

See this is the proper way to make these kind of announcements. A temporary shutdown of the game / servers can be a bummer to ppl grinding out the hunt pass but you clarified right away that you got our backs! Keep up the great work guys and goodluck on the console launch!

❤️❤️❤️
