In just two days, a highly anticipated survival action RPG, Enshrouded, is set to release in Early Access. Amidst the excitement surrounding the buzzworthy Palworld, another noteworthy game is making its debut.
Developed by Keen Games, Enshrouded is scheduled to launch on January 24th on Steam, with later releases on PS5 and Xbox XS.
Having undergone a Closed Beta phase and currently offering a playable Demo, Enshrouded has garnered attention.
However, as the multiplayer game transitions into Early Access, a pivotal question looms for both existing and prospective players: will Enshrouded feature dedicated servers?
The presence of dedicated servers is a critical factor, ensuring players can engage in the game on their own servers without the necessity of the host’s presence.
The Closed Beta of Enshrouded included dedicated servers, and developers have explicitly confirmed their continuation into the Early Access version.
It’s important to note that the absence of dedicated servers in the Demo was a limitation specific to the Demo itself and not indicative of the game’s overall capabilities.
Dedicated servers play a vital role, enabling independent gameplay with individual server hosts. This functionality ensures that players’ save files and world progress are not contingent on the host’s presence.
In the Demo, progress was tied to the host’s presence, posing a risk of data loss if their files became corrupted.
Enshrouded is a survival and crafting game set in an open-world environment crafted from voxels. The game supports up to 15 players collaborating to survive, construct impressive structures, and conquer challenging dungeons.
While Palworld currently dominates the gaming scene, Enshrouded offers a compelling experience with its Soulslike combat mechanics and gritty atmosphere.
The game features a skill and gear system, allowing players to shape their characters according to their preferences, provided they acquire the necessary items.
With the official launch approaching tomorrow, seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Enshrouded between Palworld sessions.
