Enshrouded

Pushing back the Shroud

According to Keen Games, you play a “Flameborn”, the last hope of a fallen kingdom, Embervale, consumed by a deadly fog called the Shroud. You shape your hero through a large skill tree: warrior, ranger, mage or a mix of all three. You explore with a grappling hook and glider, hunt, farm and rescue survivors who grow your settlement. PlayStation Universe describes dives into the Shroud limited to roughly five minutes, which you extend by upgrading the Flame Altar.

Build without limits

The world is made of voxels: you can dig into a mountain, reshape the terrain and build room by room. All three reviews call this the game’s main strength. TheSixthAxis praises its “insane” building potential and real mining. After the campaign, adventure sharing lets you play worlds and dungeons made by other players.

Platforms, multiplayer and languages

Version 1.0 launched on October 15, 2026 on PC (Steam) and PS5; as of November 12, 2026, the official website only links to those two stores. Steam lists co-op for up to 16 players; the PlayStation Store lists up to 8 online players, with a PS Plus subscription, and PS5 Pro enhancements. French subtitles are available on both stores; the PlayStation Store lists no French voices. Cross-platform play was not available at launch, according to NextGenConsole’s roundup.

What the press says

The three selected reviews were played on PS5. TheSixthAxis (9/10) calls it arguably the best survival game of the year, with great looks, an original Shroud and excellent building; it dislikes slightly unrefined combat and fiddly furniture crafting. PlayStation Universe (9/10) praises responsive action-RPG combat, stable performance targeting 60 frames per second and careful haptics; it notes occasionally floaty lock-on, respawning camps and heavy inventory management. Loot Level Chill (8.5/10) enjoys the sense of adventure and RPG systems but reports some performance issues and clunky item menus.

Editions and prices

Checked on November 12, 2026: the standard digital edition costs €39.99 on Steam and the PlayStation Store, with no discount. The PS5 Deluxe Edition costs €49.99. No boxed edition was found at E.Leclerc.

Who is it for?

Players who love building and exploring, solo or with friends. Those who mostly want precise combat or a tightly written story should read the reviews’ reservations.
