Greetings, Flameborn!

We’re thrilled to bring you Thralls of Twilight, a new update filled with darkness, despair, and a bunch of cool new stuff (not all of it dark or hopeless), as well as the usual quality of life improvements and fixes. Not only have we revamped the Shroud, we've also given the Nomad Steppes and Kindlewastes a facelift, and added an NPC that can also give you a facelift! And much more...

If you're a story kind of person, we have a fancy trailer here...

And as always, if you're in a hurry or don't wanna read, you'll find the highlights in video format here:

Version Number: 697018

With Update 6: “Thralls of Twilight,” we’ve taken a hard look at gameplay within the Shroud–how it looks, how it feels, and how much time players spend in it. Our goals were clear:

• Overhaul the Shroud’s visual identity–from the fog itself to the landscapes it engulfs across all biomes.
  
• Deepen the contrast between gameplay above and within the Shroud by introducing unique new challenges, enemies, and mechanics.
  
• Make time spent in the Shroud feel rewarding by introducing exclusive resources, loot, and powerful incentives.

• The Shroud has received a full visual rework with updated materials and textures. We’ve also rewritten our volumetric renderer to give the Shroud and clouds a higher visual fidelity.
  
• Landscape overhauls across the Shrouded zones added more variety, verticality, and reasons to explore.
  
• Over 100 new points of interest–from hidden nooks to substantial new encounters–now enrich the Shrouded zones. Many existing locations have also been visually refreshed or reimagined for better gameplay.
  
• Some enemies can apply curses or diseases with their attacks. Cures can be crafted from the new resources.

• The Shroud is now more treacherous than ever, with many new enemies - including all-new creatures and deadly variants. Expect to be surprised, challenged, and occasionally overwhelmed…

• Weapons of higher rarity now have a chance for a gem slot (Note: This does not apply retroactively to weapons acquired before Update 6.)
  
• Weapon Gems can drop from powerful enemies and be socketed into eligible weapons.
  
• To socket a gem, players must find mystical locations deep in the Shroud: Gem Forges.
  
• Gems can be upgraded, recycled, slotted, and removed–providing meaningful customization for your arsenal.

New crafting resources found only in the Shroud unlock powerful new gear and consumables, including:

• New armor sets
  
• New Spell types
  
• Confusion grenades
  
• Critter bombs
  
• Mobile repair kits for fixing weapons in the field

Several older crafting recipes – like enhancing the Flame Altar – have also been updated to include these new resources, further integrating them into your progression.

As with the Shroud, we’ve expanded nighttime gameplay with new challenges and, more importantly, exclusive rewards for players bold enough to explore after sundown. The night is no longer just a time to survive–it’s a time to thrive.

Nighttime enemy activity has been ramped up:

• Scavenger patrols now roam the roads under cover of night looking for rare resources and items. Keep your torch close... and your weapon closer.
  
• Groups of the Fell roam the lands above at night, trying to temporarily spread the Shroud.

New plants can now be found blooming at night across all biomes.

• These rare blooms offer unique crafting materials and special food.
  
• They are also used for stronger versions of existing potions.

Introducing Night Temples, a brand new type of point of interest found in every region of Embervale. These temples:

• Can only be entered at night: their doors remain sealed during the day.
  
• Feature all-new architectural elements and are filled with dangerous traps.
  
• Offer exclusive rewards for those who dare to brave their depths.

Across the world, we’ve enhanced the visual quality of several biomes with lush new vegetation, refined landscapes, and reworked textures. These upgrades bring more depth and beauty to exploration, whether you're climbing a cliffside or crossing a war-torn valley.
The Nomad Highlands and Kindlewastes in particular have received a comprehensive visual overhaul, breathing new life into their unique environments.
Additionally, many points of interest throughout the world have been reworked–not just in terms of visuals, but also in enemy placement and encounter design, offering more meaningful and immersive challenges.

Update 6 brings major upgrades to player customization, giving you more ways to define your look, both through armor styling and character appearance.

Meet Elio Ricci the Barber, a new survivor who can be found and unlocked via a dedicated quest.

• Once placed in your base, Elio grants access to the full character customization menu, allowing you to tweak your appearance at any time.
  
• Several new character presets and customization options are now available.
  
• Through newly-added quests, you can also discover additional hairstyles, hair colors, and eye colors hidden throughout Embervale.

Most armor sets and vanity outfits can now be tinted using a brand-new crafting system:

• A new tinting station for your base to create and apply color palettes.
  
• Color palette items can be found and crafted to create endless customization for most of your existing armor pieces.

• CPU performance for multiplayer hosts and dedicated servers has been significantly optimized.
  
• Several issues around the topic of brightness and bloom have been fixed and improved to create a more balanced visual quality. As we understand that there is a vast variety of lighting conditions and monitor types we’ve also added brightness and bloom adjustment sliders to allow for better customization.
  
• To create more beautiful sunsets / sunrises we’ve improved sky and atmosphere rendering as well as our day & night transition.
  
• Lighting, tone mapping, shadows and global illumination have been improved. Especially trees and other large objects now participate in global illumination, so lighting in forests and densely overgrown areas is much more immersive now.
  
• As mentioned earlier our volumetric rendering has been rewritten to produce a more detailed presentation for the shroud and clouds in the sky with a stronger atmosphere and God rays.
  
• Please note: work on rendering improvements is still an ongoing process and we will continue to work hard to further improve visual quality and performance with future updates.

• The visible barrier when entering the Shroud is still being worked on. Especially the barrier when reaching a Shroud level that is deadly is very difficult to see at the moment. This will be addressed in an upcoming patch.
  
• Shadows cast by trees can flicker noticeably.

• Shroud rendering was completely reworked. This rework allows, among others, more advanced lighting features. It is also the basis for exciting new features in future updates, they write, enigmatically.

• Several issues with bloom and exposure have been fixed.
  
• Bloom intensity can now be adjusted in the graphical settings.

• Sharpness settings in the graphical settings have been reworked. With Update 6, the settings are reset to default. Please re-adjust if necessary.
  
• The colors of the sky and the atmosphere, especially during the sunset and sunrise, have been improved.
  
• Improved the influence of sky light for the dynamic global illumination.
  
• Trees and other large objects now participate in global illumination–lighting in overgrown areas and forests (like the Revelwoods) has particularly benefited.
  
• Improved the visual quality of LOD models.
  
• Added subsurface textures for tree and bush foliage.
  
• Fixed instances where sunlight would leak through solid ground or walls.
  
• Fixed instances where terrain would show cracks, allowing a peek into the endless void of the beyond, which is surprisingly unremarkable.
  
• Increased the precision of the collision for terrain. This helps specifically for loot drops that previously dropped on the ground and vanished into the terrain. Hope it was nothing important.
  
• XeSS is now supported when using Intel graphics cards.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused freshly started dedicated servers to show “Version mismatch” in the server list for a short while, even if the version matched with the client.

• Further improved the compilation speed of VFX shaders in the main menu.
  
• Fixed several rare crashes reported by players.

• Dangerous enemies now have the chance to drop a new gameplay item: Weapon Gems. Once found, weapon gems can be slotted into weapons that have the weapon gem slot at Gem Forges in the Shroud. Weapon gems add specific bonuses and perks to the weapons that they are slotted into.
  
• Added many new enemy types to the game. Some are completely new, others are variations of existing enemies.
  
• Added 2 new channelled beam spells to the game: one heals, the other one really doesn’t.

• Slightly increased spell casting speed for several spells, including fireballs and ice bolts.
  
• Added a wide range of new crafting materials and lootable resources to the game world and to enemy loot.
  
• Elite and Boss enemies now drop Legendary Runes, which are required to unlock higher-tier perks of legendary weapons.
  
• Added item level information to all material resource items. This information can be used by players to prioritize which items are worth keeping in the backpack and which can be discarded should the backpack fill up.
  
• Newly-crafted backpack expansions now offer an additional row of backpack space each. Existing players have to craft and equip the backpack again to gain access to the expansion.
  
• Made a first version of the backpack extensions available earlier in the crafting progression.
  
• Added a craftable ward item in the Albaneve Summits tier.
  
• Reworked the staggering system for enemies.
  
• Some enemies can now apply diseases or curses with their attacks. Cures against such curses and diseases can be crafted from newly available crafting resources.
  
• The chance for the curse feature to be triggered can be tweaked or completely disabled in the world settings.
  
• Repair kits can now be crafted as consumables to restore weapon durability while exploring.
  
• Added several new foods, potions and other consumables that can be crafted with new resources harvested from the Shroud areas, night plants, and enemies.

• Tweaked the shape of the Shroud Banshees so that it is easier to hit them with melee weapons.
  
• Increased the stamina cost for the jump attack skill from 25 to 50. It should be a lot less spammable now.
  
• Reduced the stamina cost for evasion from 33 to 20.
  
• Fixed some incorrect calculations of mana costs when casting spells.
  
• Tweaked projectile parry window to be easier and improved visual communication for parriability.
  
• Fixed an issue with channeling spells that would cause dead enemies to still be targeted during the casting.
  
• Fixed several issues with ranged enemy behavior when trying to find a good attack position. Likewise, the behavior of melee enemies when trying to reach the player has been improved.
  
• Slightly reduced the walking speed of the player character when moving backwards while in combat (locked-on) with an enemy.
  
• Controls for ranged combat are more precise now, preventing accidentally shooting another arrow or spell by pressing the shoot button or key just a little bit too long. Activating aim-mode and charging the shot at the same time now works reliably. Additionally, input buffering for ranged combat has been improved for a more fluid combat experience while using bows, wands, and staffs.
  
• Fixed several issues with patrolling and movement of enemies & farm animals, such as incorrect stop-and-go behavior.

• Added a new crafting station for the player base: the coloring station for crafting color palettes and applying new colors to armor and outfits.
  
• Added a new craftable item type to the game: color palettes. Once crafted, it can be applied to armor and outfit pieces at the coloring station to change the tinting of the pieces.

• A new farming animal can be added to the player base once tamed: the Round-Billed Sailer from the Kindlewastes. It will produce feathers when sheltered and fed.
  
• Survivors are now spending their time more convincingly. For example, there are now fewer chances of a survivor going back and forth between two points of interest in the player base constantly. Also, added several new animations to all survivors.
  
• A new feature has been added to the Flame Altar: When placing a player base onto a location that contains progress-relevant unique items or quest rewards, these items can now be collected from this particular Flame Altar as a fallback.

Greetings Flameborn,


We're not gonna beat around the bush: we just hit 4M players in Enshrouded! This wouldn't have been possible without you... and you... and you...

Far from being content and resting on our laurels, the team is hard at work on Update 6, slated for May. And speaking of Update 6, we very recently showcased it during the Triple I Initiative showcase[iii-initiative.com]! Did you miss it? Oh boy, have we got just the video for you...



The video you've all clicked on this news for. Go on, have a look.

This probably just whetted your appetite, so over the next few weeks, we'll be teasing the update in more detail. Keep an eye out on our socials so you don't miss anything.

Until then, take care of yourselves and remember to put on sunscreen if you go outside. It's weirdly nice in Europe right now.

The Enshrouded team

Greetings, Flameborn!

If you've been paying attention to our social posts you might have seen a mysterious teaser[x.com] a few weeks ago. If you've been frothing at the mouth with anticipation... well you're gonna have to wait a little more.

However, we can now say that we will be revealing more about Enshrouded's next update at the III showcase (it's read "Triple I" but we like to say "heeeee" because come on) on April 10th, 6pm CEST/9am PDT!

There will be announcements from 30+ games from other studios like us - all in 45 minutes - with world premieres, gameplay reveals, launch dates and more. There's no hosts, ads or sponsors – just games!

The event will be streamed on Youtube, Twitch[www.twitch.tv], and right here on Steam.

If you're curious and very good at recognizing games, you can check out the trailer to get an idea of what games you'll see:
