What Enshrouded 1.0 changed
In Keen Games' own words, from the 1.0 changelog posted on Steam on 2026-10-14. The changelog is far longer; these are the headline changes.
The full map and Cinder’s Cradle
- “The full game world is now accessible.”
- “Up in the north, beyond the now open gates past the Veilwater Basin a completely new area can be explored, the Cinder’s Cradle.”
- “The area sits between Blackmire and Veilwater Basin in terms of size, and brings 12 new Shroud Roots.”
- “The gates to the Hollow Halls have now opened in the Albaneve Summits and Veilwater Basin.”
Cinder's Cradle on our map — its border and 2,163 markers, read from the 1.0 game files.
Level cap
“The new max level for players is now 50. Accordingly, the max level for equipment is now 55 when fully upgraded.”
Sparkworks — a logic system for builders
- “Players can now create their own gameplay in their worlds using the new logic system called “Sparkworks”.”
- “Added a new feature called “Sparkworks” that can be accessed by crafting a new set of tools and interactive props.”
- “Sparkworks allows the connection of interactive elements in the player base and adds behavior rules to the interactions.”
- “To help players set up complex logic connections, a new 2D graph editor has been added where all the inputs and outputs can be configured and where the connections and rules are visualized in a convenient way.”
Keen's Sparkworks announcement (2026-10-08): “What's a logic system? It's a way to connect inputs, like pulling a lever, stepping on a pressure plate, etc, with an output, such as a door opens, a trap opens underfoot...”
Enshrouded on PS5 and Xbox
PlayStation 5: released with 1.0 on October 15, 2026, with PS5 Pro enhancements announced — the first time Enshrouded was playable on console. There is no PS4 version.
Xbox Series X|S: announced for spring 2027, a few months after the PC/PS5 1.0 release. No Xbox One version has been announced.
Latest Enshrouded update
The latest update is the 1.0 release of October 15, 2026 — its headline changes are quoted above. Before it, the last Early Access build we reviewed was version 0.9.1.2 (Hotfix 42, released June 29, 2026), a stability pass on top of the last major Early Access content update, "Forging the Path". That update reworked the game from the ground up — a combat overhaul with new heavy attacks and weapon skills, reworked weapons, armour and water, a reset-and-refunded skill tree, and Adventure Sharing for browsing and playing community-built worlds. Our builds, skill-tree planner and interactive map were written against the Early Access game; the map also carries layers read from the 1.0 dedicated-server files.
