Enshrouded 1.0 launches October 15 with a big performance push

Enshrouded's 1.0 launch is set for October 15, and developer Keen Games has started showing what's changing. The current focus is on improving features and systems already in the game, with a new behind-the-scenes video highlighting some of the larger upgrades. The studio says a much longer list of changes is still to come in October's Highlights video and release changelog.

Performance is the other major 1.0 target. After years of added systems, detail, and visual polish, the team wants Enshrouded to run significantly better on lower- and middle-range systems—and, as the video's joke notes, that means dealing with someone who "keeps adding forests full of bamboo." This is Keen Games' second-ever look behind the scenes at how the game works.

Part of the team is currently at Gamescom, showing press the upcoming changes and the PS5 version. More videos are planned in the coming weeks, while the studio notes that September's packed release schedule should give players plenty to play until Enshrouded arrives on October 15.
