Players must vanquish punishing bosses, build grand halls, and upgrade their hero to withstand the mist and uncover the secrets of the kingdom’s downfall.

Enshrouded is set in a decaying world of magic and beauty, ruined by a pestilence unleashed from the depths of the earth. Roaming and ravaging the land are the mutated remnants of its fallen people — driven to madness and controlled by the fog. But above the mists and hidden deep in ancient temples, warriors from a forgotten age sleep, dreamless and impervious to time.

Players awaken as "Flameborn", the last hope of an ancient civilization. Guided by nothing but a latent arcane power in their veins, they must hunt, gather, and craft to unleash their power and untangle the secrets of a ruined realm of epic beauty. To unlock truth, treasure, and wisdom, the player must venture into the lush forests, unyielding deserts, deep fissures, and lost dungeons of the land.

But set against them is the Shroud, a creeping blight that absorbs and mutates all life it encounters. To push back the Shroud, the Flameborn must ascend a deep open skill tree to master powerful weapons, spells, and armor — developing their own unique playstyle to withstand warring factions of fell creatures, and conquer merciless bosses in heart-pounding combat.

To protect themselves from the fog and bring life back to the kingdom, players can shape the world's terrain and unleash their creativity to build bases and epic homes, customized to the last detail with a vast array of materials and furniture. Beyond showcasing treasure, powerful NPCs can be awakened, unlocking advanced workshops and the ability to craft unique items and mythic weapons.

Keen Games revealed that it has surpassed the three million player milestone after launching via Steam Early Access in January of this year. In the same near-eight months’ time, the team has delivered three major content updates, four patches, and 16 hotfixes, as well as a handful of community-focused events including contests and content shares.

Keen Games had previously reached milestones of one million players in a mere four days following launch, then reaching two million in less than a month from EA launch. The team continues to work on growing the game while in Early Access, with the full 1.0 launch on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles is planned for 2025.

Since its launch on January 24th, 2024, Enshrouded has enjoyed introducing players from around the world into Embervale, and have noted some impressive statistics by the masses in that time:

• Over 90 million hours of Enshrouded have been played — so far
• Almost 150 million player deaths since launch (RIP, regen, repeat)
• Nearly 700,000 players have reached the current maximum of level 25 
• Keen Games has doubled in size since the work on Enshrouded began.
  • The longest standing member has been with Keen Games for 19 years.
  • The newest member started at the beginning of August to bolster the QA. 
• Since launching into Early Access, there have been:
  • Three major content updates:
    • Hollow Halls
    • Melodies of the Mire
    • Back to the Shroud
  • Four patches
  • 16 hotfixes
• Enough trees felled to build 1 million bridges, but, like, really long bridges*
• We just don't know how many hours players spent sunbathing. Hopefully with sun protection 50, as the sun in Embervale is hot.

Keen Games is eager to hear from their growing community of players as they continue development during Early Access and beyond. The over 3 million Flameborn are invited to spark discussion on social media, Steam reviews, and vote on potential features using the Feature Upvote platform to help inform the development process for the eventual 1.0 full launch, as well as console editions.

Key Features:

• Survival & Exploration: Survive and conquer Embervale, a vast open world full of mutated creatures, mysteries and secrets to discover.
• ARPG Combat: Play as the Flameborn and battle the Fiends, Fell and other corrupted creatures. Learn their tactical schemes, upgrade your character’s skills, and battle the hordes of enemies to dispel the Shroud.
• Boss Battles: Face the scourges of Embervale by challenging the faction's monstrous leaders you’ll need courage and your mythical weapons to triumph from them.
• Crafting & Base Building: Rescue legendary artisans, discover long lost recipes, and build awe-inspiring homes designed to the last detail and shape the world's terrain to your liking.
• Character Customization: Personalize your character and appearance, upgrade your weapons and armors in Enshrouded’s extensive crafting system.

Enshrouded is in development for PC (Steam) and consoles, scheduled for 2025.
