Of course, like any Early Access title, there’s room to improve. And in the dev vlog, Keen Games has confirmed it’s continuing to work on implementing player feedback for the next updates ahead of 1.0. This includes making combat even better and continuing to squash bugs. The first wave of these fixes is set to arrive with the next patch on January 22nd.

While we don’t have an exact 1.0 release date yet, Enshrouded is aiming for an Autumn 2026 release. The full launch will bring the game to consoles alongside its current PC version on Steam. Keen Games hasn’t yet confirmed which consoles will be included, but that info will likely come as we get closer to the release window.

Enshrouded is currently available in Early Access on PC via Steam. It is currently priced at $29.99, though that could change once it hits 1.0 later this year.
