History will remember the beginning of 2024 in the gaming industry for a few things: layoffs, the success of several JRPGs in short succession, the cross-platform triumph of Helldivers 2, and the viral impact of two indie survival crafting titles called Palworld and Enshrouded. Whereas Palworld mixed up genre standards by introducing creature collection mechanics, Enshrouded follows the traditional line, making its success in the wake of Pocket Pair’s mega hit all the more remarkable.

Now that the initial hype for both games is over, it’s time to look towards the future – and Keen Games is making things easy with a massive Enshrouded roadmap detailing upcoming features and updates all the way to the planned full launch of the game in 2025.

However, the developers also offered a look deeper into the future. The following elements will be included with updates planned for later in 2024:

  • Sharing and visiting bases

  • Creating and sharing gameplay experiences

  • Instanced dungeons

  • More biomes

  • World events

  • Water

Keen Games acknowledged that many of these items are still rather vague and vowed to share additional details closer to their release date. Naturally, the developers need to remain flexible and able to react to any issues or needs that may become more obvious later down the road, so having a list that’s too detailed and constraining at this point could be more harmful than helpful.

Enshrouded is currently available on PC via Early Access with a full launch on the platform as well as on consoles planned for 2025. For more tips on the game, check out Enshrouded on Video Games on Sports Illustrated.
