Enshrouded is a 1 - 16 player action/RPG survival game with a robust skill tree, detailed building/crafting mode, and a thrilling fog mechanic called The Shroud.

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 announced that Enshrouded is now available through Steam Early Access.

Enshrouded Early Access contains hours of adventure with more gameplay freedom, inspiring players to tailor their narratives in a world of their own creation. 

“Enshrouded is a complete experience in regards to the core gameplay elements. However, during the Early Access phase it is planned to improve and add to the gameplay features in accordance with feedback from the community. In addition to that, it is planned to expand the world significantly. This will include new biomes to explore, filled with new enemies and new types of locations. New biomes also mean more crafting resources and recipes, more tiers of equipment and weapons. While levelling up, the player will be able to explore additional skills in the skill tree. For the player base, more deco furniture and building materials are planned to enable players to express themselves even better with their building creations.”

Enshrouded will continue to grow in Early Access, eventually launching in a full release and on consoles.
