Enshrouded is a solo and co-op survival action RPG from Keen Games, the German studio behind Portal Knights. Players are Flameborn, survivors who wake in the kingdom of Embervale as a corrupting fog called the Shroud swallows it. The game mixes open-world exploration, quests and loot-driven combat with voxel building and terrain that can be dug, reshaped and built on almost anywhere.
It launched in Early Access on Steam on 24 January 2024 and, according to Keen Games, received eight major content updates there, adding three biomes, dynamic water and many new weapons, armours and base materials. Bases are built around Flame Altars, and survivors rescued in the world become crafters who unlock new tiers of equipment, food and building blocks.
Version 1.0 arrived on 15 October 2026 on PC and PS5. It opened the full map, including the new Cinder's Cradle biome, concluded the main story, raised the player level cap to 50 and reworked mage combat. An Xbox Series X|S version is planned for spring 2027, and cross-platform play is not available yet.
