Enshrouded has been a huge hit since its launch in January 2024 and it is here with another major update in early access: Souls of the Frozen Frontier. This update introduces a new area, a new crafting tier, dynamic weather, and a whole lot more.
Here is a rundown of the update and all of the biggest additions.
Enshrouded Albaneve Summits
The Albaneve Summits is the next major area in Enshrouded, drastically expanding Embervale with a vast mountain biome in the north. Past the Nomad Highlands and Kindlewastes, this new region is demanding and teeming with threats, dangerous icy lakes, and rivers, as well as new foes.
To traverse this new region, you can use aerial updrafts to extend flights and add height, while out in the wild. Across the Summits, you can also find new Shroud roots, friendly wildlife, and a series of quests that reveal Embervale’s tragic past.
With this new location, the first iteration of Enshrouded’s dynamic weather system is also here. This allows Embervale to feel alive in a way it hasn’t until now with the weather changing naturally across the land. From snowfall to freezing temperatures which can drain your warmth, to being able to look for shelter or craft campfires for light and heat, the dynamic weather makes Embervale more dangerous than ever.
Enshrouded’s Crafting Updates
To survive, you will need better gear and Souls of the Frozen Frontier introduces a brand new crafting tier for higher-tier items. The maximum level has also been increased to 35. Across the Albaneve Summits, you can find new rare resources not found anywhere in Embervale to craft this gear.
The update also introduces unique armor sets with new spells, skills, and perks for every class and subclass.
Enshrouded’s Townsfolk Updates
New survivors are scattered across the land to join your settlement and you can bring them home and unlock their quests to learn their tales. As of this update, these townsfolk will also wander, sleep at night in beds, and engage with you in a way the game previously didn’t feature.
Additionally, you can place new assistants in secondary bases to give you full crafting capabilities outside of your base. New pets and wildlife have also been added to your bases, which can be tamed out in the wild and brought back home to produce valuable resources, provided you can take care of them.
Enshrouded Souls of the Frozen Frontier Quality of Life Updates
This update also brings a number of quality-of-life updates including adjustable text size for the UI and the ability to pause in single-player mode. There are also a ton of slight combat changes, fixes, and more which can be read about in full on the official update announcement article on Steam.
