Enshrouded

Keen Games will leave early access behind on October 15 with version 1.0 of Enshrouded, the open-world survival action RPG. The full version arrives on PC via Steam and on PS5, while the Xbox Series X|S release is planned for spring 2027. Early access started in January 2024 and drew over 5 million players, a stretch in which the developer shipped eight major content updates with new biomes, enemies, weapons, and building materials. The game supports up to 16 players in multiplayer and runs on a fully destructible voxel world with crafting and base building, set in a fantasy kingdom consumed by a toxic mist called the Shroud. Players are the Flameborn, described as the last hope of a dying race.

On June 25, Keen Games CEO Jan Jockel said the Xbox version needs more time to reach the intended quality and performance, citing the technical demands of the voxel world and multiplayer system. Two months later, the studio detailed optimization work for the full release: a self-developed brick rendering tool for distant detail, changes to shadow rendering, and reduced shader compilation times. The full version of The Mist Kingdom launches on PC and PS5 on October 15.

The commercial side has moved alongside the release date. Keen Games will raise the price to 39.99 euros on September 8, a 10 euro increase, after a 25 percent Steam sale at 2,295 yen during the PvE Survival Craft Fest. The studio says the game grew substantially in features and content during early access and that the increase supports continued development. On September 4, BESTNET-GSERVER renewed its Enshrouded dedicated server hosting with more CPU cores on every plan at the same 980 yen monthly price before tax, trimming memory and storage to keep prices flat. The host says the game responds more to processing power than to concurrent player count. The new server configuration applies to new orders only.
