Enshrouded Guide Build, survive & explore Embervale
Enshrouded is a co-op survival crafting action RPG set in a vast, handcrafted voxel world. Reclaim a fallen kingdom, rescue survivors, shape the land, and build a base against the Shroud.
CURRENT RELEASE STATUS
Version 1.0 launched on October 15, 2026
Enshrouded has left Steam Early Access and is out as version 1.0 on PC (Steam) and PS5. Version 1.0 adds a new biome in the north and two new dungeons, opens up the whole map, raises the level cap to 50, takes gear up to level 55, and adds the final Flame level 11 and new spells. Early Access saves still work, but the skill tree resets the first time you load one, and custom key bindings go back to the defaults.

Cross mountains, deserts, ruins, valleys, and dangerous Shroud zones while uncovering Embervale's fixed landmarks and secrets.
Shape a flexible combat build
Combine an open skill tree and gear around warrior, ranger, mage, or hybrid playstyles. Update 8 added focus specials, heavy attacks, and broad skill upgrades.
Create an original sanctuary
Use voxel terraforming and flexible building tools to restore ruins, carve terrain, or build a settlement from the ground up.

Turn local resources into tools, stations, food, and expedition supplies.
3.Rescue survivors
Bring specialists back to your base to expand recipes, equipment, and progression choices.
4.Enter the Shroud
Plan a timed route through corrupted zones and return with resources and knowledge.
5.Upgrade & push outward
Improve the Flame, gear, skills, and base so the next expedition reaches farther.
