'Dauntless' the online co-op action RPG from Phoenix Labs will be entering open beta on May 24, 2018. The developers will also announce a new reward system that will allow players to get access to cosmetic items according to their progress in the current and future stages of the closed beta.
For a smooth transition into open beta, the developers have planned to conduct two server wipes. This will be done so that the new changes will not conflict with the existing mechanics. The first wipe will happen on May 2nd while the second on May 22nd 2018.
With a player count of more than 1,00,000, the closed beta saw great success and now there are more than 8,00,000 players signed up for the open beta. This means that there will be plenty of folks to team up with and defend the fictional Shattered Isles of the game from giant monsters called Behemoths. The graphics resemble that of Fortnite and who know that the success story of the two games might also be similar!

Sam Fisher will be a part of Special Operation I - the first major update of the second year of post-launch content for the game. Players will be able to play alongside Sam Fisher and help him complete his new high-risk infiltration mission in fictionalised future Bolivia. This new special challenge is a night-time stealth mission playable solo or with up to four players in co-op .
“We are all super excited to bring such an iconic character as Sam Fisher into Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands,” said Nouredine Abboud, Senior Producer at Ubisoft. “Teaming up with Sam Fisher will require the Ghosts’ stealth, cleverness and tactics…we can’t wait to see the reactions of our players as they face this new challenge!”
Upon completing the mission, players will be rewarded with exclusive items, such as Sam’s iconic sonar goggles, with a new night-vision filter, and more.

Special Operation 1 will also bring the Echelon, a new assault class available in all PvP modes, which will expand the Ghost War roster to 18 unique classes. The Echelon is a part of Sam Fisher’s Fourth Echelon team, and therefore has access to high-tech equipment as well as the Sonar Pulse ability that allows him to see enemies behind walls at short range and gain tactical advantage over the opposing team. Ghost War players will be able to get early-access to the new class by using their Prestige points or with the Year 2 Pass.

But before that the game will be available in early access on Steam on the 24th of April at a reduced price.
Elea game story
The game tells the story of the titular character Elea, a space scientist on a mission to find her husband Ethan.

Thirteen years later, Elea ventures out on research starship RSS Recovery to find out what happened to Ethan. Along her journey, she encounters phenomena beyond human grasp.
The game is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and looks gorgeous in the screens we have seen thus far. The exotic space setting is sure to provide the developers with some interesting visuals to present to the player. You can find the Steam page of the game here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/812020/Elea__Episode_1/

In case, just like us you also develop a fondness for the soundtrack then that will also be available on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/837910/Elea_Episode_1__Soundtrack/
