Keen Games is surfacing a new release date and additional details on their largest content update yet, coming to Enshrouded. To ensure that the Wake of the Water update meets the team's high standards of quality, Keen Games needs a little more time to fine-tune the ambitious content and will be releasing the update on 10 November 2025. The Wake of the Water brings the community's top-requested features into the game: dynamic water-the number-one request- significant combat improvements, and the addition of two-handed Greatswords.



Combat Before the Storm
Keen Games has heard the community loud and clear: combat needed a little sharpening, and retooling the entire combat system has been in the works for a while. Finally, significant changes to combat balancing will be implemented as of the Wake of the Water update. Everything from attacks, armour, items, and regeneration to tweaking Ui, regeneration rates, additional skills, and spells have been reevaluated to further refine the fighting experience. Combat remains flexible and customizable, and with the addition of several new weapons, spells, abilities, and items to utilize in the update, players will find a vast range of fighting options.

In the upcoming Wake of the Water update, the team also explores additional planned features, including wildlife additions like tamed capybaras and quality of life improvements.

The developers thank the waves of over 4 million players who provide feedback and continue to dive into each content update, as they flow towards Enshrouded's 1.0 launch on PC and consoles in 2026.
