Dungeonborne

Dungeonborne, direct rival of Dark and Darker, shows new gameplay shortly before release
Genre: Extraction-Action | Steam-Release: 19. Juli 2024 (Early Access) | Preis: Free2Play
No, you don’t hear an echo: Dungeonborne works like an extraction shooter like Hunt Showdown or Escape from Tarkov, but it has a fantasy setting with magic and close combat, just like Dark and Darker. Shooter fans can at least grab a crossbow.
Things are still merciless in the dungeons: If you die from AI monsters or at the hands of opposing players, the equipment you brought with you is gone. To take all the expensive loot home with you, you have to escape via a portal.
