Keen Games Shares Future Plans for Survival ARPG
Keen Games, the developer behind the survival ARPG co-op title Enshrouded, currently in Early Access, has announced its development roadmap for 2024, leading up to the full game launch anticipated in 2025. After engaging with the player community and gathering feedback, the roadmap outlines the key updates and content expansions planned for the remainder of the year.
Community-Driven Updates
The development team at Keen Games has embraced a community-centric approach in shaping Enshrouded’s future, utilizing the Feature Upvote system to identify and prioritize new features. This process has led to the selection of several updates for inclusion in the game, reflecting the community’s most requested additions. Highlights from the roadmap include the implementation of portals for server connectivity, enhanced server customization options like nameable bases, the introduction of pets and livestock management, and the highly anticipated weather systems. Additionally, the roadmap promises the addition of new biomes and the introduction of water environments.
Looking Ahead
While the roadmap provides a high-level overview of planned content, specific details about each update will be disclosed as they are developed. The first major content update, expected later this month, will reportedly introduce larger dungeons among other features. Furthermore, Keen Games has announced a Steam Spring Sale discount for Enshrouded, set to run from March 14th to March 21, 2024, offering a timely opportunity for new players to explore the game.
Enshrouded has quickly established a strong community connection since its Early Access launch on Steam on January 24th, 2024. With over 2 million players joining within weeks and a “Very Positive” rating based on 36,000 reviews, the game’s trajectory towards its full launch on Steam, other storefronts, and consoles in 2025 looks promising.
