The 2024 roadmap for online survival role-playing game Enshrouded has revealed world events, more biomes, and potted plants are all coming to the game this year — but its departure from Early Access is not.
Developer Keen Games announced several new features coming to Enshrouded including in its first major content update coming later in March. The community's Feature Upvote system was instrumental in deciding which features would be added, the developer said, but noted the roadmap overall is subject to change.
The roadmap "doesn't have a linear form yet", Keen Games said, meaning it hasn't decided when these myriad features will be released exactly, though it said its March update would be outlined soon.
Overall in 2024, however, Enshrouded players will get the ability to share and visit bases, create and share gameplay experiences, take place in world events, visit instanced dungeons, and explore more biomes. Water is also coming to the game.
As for the smaller features, Keen Games revealed Hollow Halls dungeons, Steam Deck support, performance improvements, smoother gameplay, location improvements, improved loot UI, workshops craft from magic chests, better stack splitting, multiple NPC instances, a reassignable glider shortcut, sitting on furniture, improved post processing, more trees to grow, round doors and windows, potted plants, and new building materials are coming to the game.
The list goes on, however, as these are joined by replayable world quests, better quest sorting, server gameplay settings, server user rights, townsfolk NPVs, a vanity system, editable signs, musical instruments, townsfolk pets, animal farming, enemy patrols, a weather system, a mountains biome, portals to other servers, nameable bases and map locations, multiplayer pings, named tombstones, new enemies and bosses, and various fixes and polishing.
Absent from the list is a full launch on Steam, other storefronts, and consoles, which is planned for 2025. Those looking to pick up the Early Access version can do so at a discount during the Spring Sale, Keen Games added.
In our 8/10 review of the game, IGN said: "Enshrouded’s mix of Valheim-style survival and Breath of the Wild-style exploration make a wonderful pairing, but it still has slew of Early Access kinks to work out."
