Dive into the Depths with 'Wake of the Water'

Keen Games has officially launched its most significant update yet for the action RPG, Enshrouded, titled 'Wake of the Water'. Released on November 10, 2025, this extensive update comes packed with dynamic voxel water technology, a complete revamping of the combat system, and the introduction of new weapons, such as the two-handed sword, all in response to player feedback.

New Biomes and Features Await

The new biome, Veilwater Basin, serves as an inviting landscape where adventurers can encounter various wildlife, including a brand-new lizard-like monster known as Drak. As players immerse themselves in this environment, they'll also discover the addition of a comprehensive cosmetic system allowing for further customization of weapons and character appearances.

This update marks the seventh major release since the game's early access launch in January 2024, and it represents a significant step towards the anticipated official version (Ver. 1.0) set to be launched in 2026.

Enhanced Gaming Experience

The 'Wake of the Water' update not only expands the game's features but significantly enhances the gameplay experience across various areas such as exploration, farming, terrain modification, building, and survival. The revamped combat system ensures a more engaging and thrilling battle experience, with many new enemies introduced, including amphibious foes that will challenge players both on land and in water.

Highlights of the Update

1. Dynamic Voxel Water and New Biomes: This groundbreaking technology allows players to interact with water in unprecedented ways—filling containers, swimming, controlling currents, watering plants, and even exploring underwater caves.
2. Rebuilt Combat System: Complete rebalancing of all combat elements for a more integrated and responsive experience, with adjustable difficulty settings to suit all player preferences.
3. Introduction of New Weaponry: The two-handed sword offers fresh weapon skills and additional gear options, diversifying combat styles.
4. Fishing Mini-Game: A new system for catching various fish species has been implemented, along with the introduction of wildlife like capybaras that can be tamed, enhancing the survival aspect of the game.
5. Encountering New Enemies: The Drak, a lizard-like adversary, emerges as a notable threat in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, requiring players to prepare adequately before engaging.
6. Waterfront Base Building: Utilize new materials like bamboo to construct unique bases by water, complete with themes and decor inspired by Drak materials and aesthetics.

Getting Familiar with the Reworks

Keen Games has also released a detailed video to help players grasp the changes implemented in this update, focusing on combat balance and equipment reworks. Adjustments to health recovery balance will encourage strategic use of healing items, while difficulty remains adjustable for varying player skill levels.

Major Features Realized

The release of this update fulfills many of the major features outlined in our roadmap earlier this year, heavily influenced by player feedback collected through the Feature Upvote platform. Among these, water-related interactions have been the most requested since the start of early access. After tackling significant technical challenges with their proprietary voxel system, Keen Games has finally brought this long-desired feature to life.

Popularity and Future Development

Since its early access launch, Enshrouded has captivated over four million players, guiding them through its misty, enchanting world. Keen Games is dedicated to further enhancements and is currently targeting a full version release for PC and consoles in 2026. For ongoing updates, fans are encouraged to follow official channels, including the game's website and social media.
