« Yon can pet the dog »
Enshrouded is a title that we particularly appreciate and whose final release we are impatiently awaiting, scheduled for 2025. In the meantime, this open-world survival RPG welcomes its fourth update: Souls of the Frozen Frontier. This is the biggest content addition yet. The game takes on a winter look with new snowy and especially mountainous landscapes. But that's not all, many additions and comfort elements are also worth noting.
In summary, Souls of the Frozen Frontier update includes :
- A new mountain biome
- Adding dynamic weather
- pets
- Livestock and breeding
- dragons
- Max level increases to 35
- New weapons and new armor
Thanks to an evolving roadmap, which is based on a system of community proposals and votes, Keen Games can focus on the most popular requests from players. Among these, animals and livestock were at the top of the list. Now you can tame animals and integrate them into your base so that they regularly produce resources. It is also possible for these creatures to reproduce, allowing you to breed. Additionally, dogs and cats can become exemplary pets.
As in real life, they have no functional use, but in Enshroudedthey will grant you a buff when you pet them. NPCs also return, thanks to the enhanced power of the Flame, bringing many souls back to Embervale. These new allies can be invited to your bases to help with item crafting and various tasks, helping to rebuild the world.
Dynamic weather conditions won't just be there for show. For example, the mountains will require clothing adapted to face the freezing cold and the new altitudes. Temperature variations, rain and other weather elements will now influence your adventures, adding an extra dimension of survival to the gameplay.
Enshrouded is available in early access on PC via Steam. Version 1.0 is planned for PC and consoles in 2025 without further details.
