Phoenix Labs showed off a cinematic trailer for their first game, Dauntless, which features a fantasy setting where four warriors team up to take on a gigantic owl-like creature.

No actual gameplay was shown off, but it was revealed that the title is a free-to-play four-player co-op action game taking place on a series of floating islands in a post-apocalyptic land.

Gameplay will reportedly focus on weapon crafting and combat, though no word on when the game might land.

It's hard to have much of an opinion on the game so far beyond "it's definitely a thing", though there's the worry that Dauntless could be too familiar to really carve a name out for itself. We'll see.
