Enshrouded launched in an early access state on Jan. 24, and the survival RPG has been keeping players busy exploring the vast world of Embervale ever since. This already massive game is planned to grow even more with a roadmap and updates scheduled for the future.
Whether you’re hoping to see a major feature added or looking for an important bug fix, here’s what you need to know about the Enshrouded roadmap and future updates.
Is there an Enshrouded roadmap?
The devs behind Enshrouded are currently only working on the roadmap internally, but they did say they’re building it based on player desires and major issues. They’re also hoping to share an official roadmap for the game sometime soon, so once they do, it will be added here.
Enshrouded has a feedback board you can use to share what kind of content you want to see in the game. Since it’s in an early access state, the team behind this game is very open to player suggestions and is designing future content with these in mind, so you can expect to possibly see a lot of the ideas appearing near the top of the board in future updates.
There is no guarantee any player-proposed features will appear in Enshrouded, but the team is certainly aware of them and may still choose to implement at least some version of the most popular suggestions. So far, it seems like some of the top additions that could be included on the roadmap based on player feedback are a dedicated weather system, player-based quest progression, farm animals, difficulty settings, and mounts.
Enshrouded update schedule
All Enshrouded updates so far are released randomly at any point since there is no publicly shared roadmap yet. This means there is no official update schedule so far, and the only major update we know about is a planned 1.0 release window for Enshrouded in about a year, which would be early on in 2025. But even this is subject to change.
There are also no officially announced planned features for future updates, but Enshrouded has already received the first patch, and it’s pretty substantial. Understanding Patch 1 for the game will help shape your expectations for what’s coming next.
Key notes for Enshrouded Patch 1
Landing on Feb. 6, Patch 1 introduces several changes that reveal the direction of Enshrouded’s development. You can check out the detailed breakdown of Patch 1 for Enshrouded, but, more importantly for this article, we’ll list the specific areas of the game that received additional touches.
First, a number of bugs was dealt with, which is always a good sign. If the developers are paying attention to resolving bugs at this early stage, we can expect a more polished final product once Enshrouded launches in full.
Performance boosts are another promising aspect of the game’s first patch. You can never have too much optimization, so a strong focus on performance from the start is undoubtedly good news.
Finally, Patch 1 introduced crucial changes to game mechanics. Water Aura was nerfed while Ice Bolt was boosted. This is another cause for celebration because it means the gameplay will continue to get more balanced—at least if the first patch is anything to go by!
While you wait for more information about future content, there’s still lots to do and explore. You might try working to obtain the best weapons, start exploring to find the Carpenter, or express your creativity by building a shop for the Blacksmith.
