Key information
Keen Games has officially released the full version of its open-world survival RPG, Enshrouded, on October 15, 2026. Following a three-year period in Early Access, the title has garnered significant attention, currently boasting an 89 Metascore based on nine reviews. This performance places it among the top-rated German-developed games, sharing the second-place spot with the 2004 release Far Cry.
The game blends survival mechanics with RPG elements, tasking players with exploring a fantasy world, gathering resources, and constructing bases. Players can engage in cooperative play with up to 16 people, focusing on crafting gear, defeating bosses, and progressing through a character skill tree. The 1.0 update introduces a new region, expanded crafting options, a concluding story arc, and graphical enhancements.
Reviewers at Jeuxvideo praised the game for its atmospheric world and content variety, highlighting the building and destruction systems as standout features. However, the publication noted that the combat system lacks depth and the voxel-based world exhibits certain technical limitations. Despite these critiques, the outlet concluded that the title remains an excellent choice for RPG fans exploring the survival genre.
Enshrouded is currently available exclusively on PC. The launch has seen a strong player response, with SteamDB data indicating a peak of over 65,000 concurrent players within the first 24 hours of the full release.
