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.

The sixth content update of Enshrouded’s Early Access, Thralls of Twilight, is available today.

This alluring update entices the four million+ players into the visually enhanced Shroud and to stay awake past dark to find all-new resources, loot, rewards, and unlock new modification mechanics. Additional points of interest, including entirely new enemies as well as creature variations, puzzles, and the quest as chosen by the community, further enrich Embervale, some of which only appear once the sun goes down. Players will be captivated by improved realistic lighting and rendering, diverse combat abilities, building options, gameplay enhancements, functionality improvements, and new musical tracks.

Shine bright like a Weapon Gem in the Sky

When night falls, that is usually when a Flameborn’s bed calls. As of this update, newly added rewards and resources for crafting and upgrading weapons may tempt players to skip sleep if they’re prepared to face the increasingly dangerous darkness, like the new breed of Scavenger Hounds called the Pack Wolves, or more Foggers in over-Shroud and temporary Shroud areas. Scavengers can delight in discovering plants or insects such as moths that appear at night, and even a mysterious door or two… If you’re not too afraid, you could find them all to see what they hide in the dark. 

From the outside, the Shroud is a dense mist that conceals many treasures, resources, and foes. As of Thralls of Twilight, the fog itself is visually enhanced to appear more natural, both outside and within, with new light rendering resulting in an overall upgrade of the Shroud visuals. Despite being quite unnaturally toxic and full of fresh new foes like the Flying Jelly, Predator, and Critter Queen, players will be enticed to enter for the chance to find silver-level reward chests plus a plethora of new resources and recipes that lay in wait: armor tinting palettes and sets, weapon gem resources, Channel Spells, Shroud terrain materials, and more.

Thralls of Twilight Features: 

• Dazzling incentives to stay up past bedtime and enter The Shroud: new gameplay elements to encourage you to explore the riskier sides of Embervale.
• New creepy, crawly enemies like the Predator. Flying Jelly. Critter Queen. Basically, if it moves, it can kill you. 
• Armor sets for day and night wear. New vanity outfits and armor sets can be found, including one themed for “day” and one for “night.” 
• A new point of interest in the Shroud: the Shroud Lairs, distinctly identifiable, where new enemies guard resources and treasures
• Shroud Forges are also nestled in the Shroudand are used for upgrading, adding, and removing Weapon Gems. Will you collect all 21?
• Players can tint their armor at the Coloring Station. Nothing says “capable survivor” like a fashion show. 
• Day or night, get a new ‘do and hue with new color options for hair and eyes, available from the new Barber in your village. 
• Added options/variations for combat, enemies, and NPCs, plants - very conveniently acquirable with the auto-gathering ability. 
• Looks can be deceiving: significant visual upgrade to The Shroud itself.
• The first-ever fan-chosen quest, The Dragons' Last Breath, can be unlocked by exploring the remains of dragons resting in the Albaneve Mountains.

The Thralls of Twilight update features a special quest chosen by the community in a series of polls on social media — a novel approach for Keen Games to involve their expanding community further. Followers voted on answers to the queries about what, where, how, and why to formulate a unique quest once per week across any participating platform.  In the end, the community chose a treasure hunt beginning in the Albaneve Mountains (the new biome released in the Souls of the Frozen Frontier.) As for the reward? Only one way to find out!

As always, upgrades and enhancements to Enshrouded overall will be included. If players find themselves wishing for new features or wonder when their most-wished-for content or fix might be added to the game, they are encouraged to check out Feature Upvote and voice their opinions on what they want to see, hear, and feel when in-game.
