Survival Action RPG 'Enshrouded' Slated for Early Access Launch January 2024 After Successful Steam Next Fest Run
Enshrouded, Keen Games' first self-published game with inspirations drawn from Valheim and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, became the most played and wishlisted demo of Steam Next Fest, providing Players with an early glimpse of the open-world co-operative survival RPG.
- Enshrouded, a survival action RPG developed by Keen Games, is set for an early access launch on January 24, 2024. This marks a significant shift for the developer, who is self-publishing for the first time in its nearly twenty-year history.
- The game became the most played and wishlisted demo during Steam Next Fest, thanks in part to its unique combination of elements inspired by popular games like Valheim and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
- Enshrouded aims to provide a more approachable take on the survival genre, offering a broad range of activities including adventuring, building, crafting, hunting, farming and even role-playing. It also integrates unique features such as grappling hooks and wingsuits.
- The release date was chosen to maintain the momentum of the successful demo and ensure a quality early access launch. Despite being later than originally planned, the team expresses gratitude for community support and the surprise success of the Steam Next Fest demo.
- After the early access launch on PC via Steam, a full launch and console release are also in the pipeline for the game. The developers aim to leave Early Access within a year, planning to adapt to player feedback and expand the game world with new biomes and enemies post-release.
