Has Enshrouded Just Teased its NEXT Update?!

[@PratfallYT]

Hey all! Let us know when you think these mysterious sky islands are coming… and hop in our Discord to share more of your thoughts, builds, or whatever you wanna talk about!

[@GamingandMore95]

I have no idea whats coming next! I would love the mountain biome! I'm also looking forward to editable signs so I can better label things in game!

[@PratfallYT]

Omg yes! We’ve wanted signs for the longest time! 🤞

[@DaftSandwich]

Right...? Where are the custom map markers?

[@Elite02k]

Or name able chests

[@hanscarlsson6583]

Notetaking on the map would be so useful!

[@Monarch_87]

My take: Ancient vaults for normal NPCs that were put to sleep up there to save them from the shroud and ensure they survive until the time comes for them to be woken up and re populate the world. Once you unlock them you get npcs strolling around your builds

[@PratfallYT]

Awesome idea!

[@HawkknightXC88]

Sky Islands or Snowly Mountains are the biomes I can't wait to see in Enshrouded.

[@jel0sh]

My money is the sky city will be just that a city kinda broken apart. The smaller floating islands will be separate from the main big one because of infighting over the years. They are floating because they are ruled by mages who saved all these people. The big one will be the friendly NPCs while the smaller ones will be hostile. You'll be able to get up there via portals that only the flameborn can go through like the spires hence why they are stuck up there unsure if its safe down below yet. The end of the sky biome questline will enable the NPCs to go down an populate some areas of the map in towns kind of retaking some areas, maybe even quests helping them take and rebuild some areas that the scavengers had controlled.

[@ImnotgoingSideways]

Also, the journal has a "Missed Embervale Quests" which leads me to believe there's a second act map coming as well.

[@foxthevaliant]

since hotfix #15 I've randomly been hearing occasional cracks of thunder mixed into the background sounds of the wind and animal cries. My money is on the weather system coming with the mountain biome next. I'm also hoping for a new flying enemy or two and maybe a snowy Vukah.

[@PratfallYT]

You have?? We must’ve missed those, that’s super exciting though 👍

[@foxthevaliant]

@@PratfallYT it's only in this one part of my main base. When I walk into the room the background noises fire off, one after another for some reason.

[@PratfallYT]

@@foxthevaliantThat’s very interesting 🤔

[@accidrainn]

I heard it at night while at Fort Kelvin & a few other places ;)

[@andrewcook5779]

There should be a grapple attack that can force flyers down for a short period of time 22:57

[@Hollow_Phoenix]

I think the island is the Mountains Spire - large structure flanked by smaller towers as is the pattern, and they function partially as glide points for the biome. How would one glide above high mountains, if not from either the highest peak, or something floating above? Alchemist seems to function as our magic guy already, so I dunno if we'd get another magic NPC, or what we'd get it not. Keen have said they were largely inspired by Breath of the Wild, so Tears of the Kingdom follows naturally. Doubt they'd so closely mimic the Zonai islands. Although I'd happily see them roughly use the same idea of landmasses lifted into the sky to escape troubles on the ground, and yeah as you said that's an easy path to implementing townsfolk. Personally I wonder if they could use the Scavengers - they're human, just warped by Elixir use. Maybe we could rehabilitate them, like Minecraft zombie villagers.

[@JustALittolBear]

I would like to see some like legendary hunts or more fauna. Something like a legendary boar you have to hunt down, and then you could mount its head on the wall. The Wispwyvern fight is so iconic, and I think they will be adding more unique encounters like that. Once the game has fully released and there are so many more biomes, that would be a great way to revitalize the starter areas like Vale and Springlands.

[@PratfallYT]

Awesome idea. That combined with some fun fishing mechanics (after they add water) would add a lot to the game for sure!

[@jupiterthree5228]

I would love to see item stands like in Valheim. That way we can decorate with potions and food and stuff. It really gives builds a cozy lived in feel.

[@7Thunders-nx4vd]

I'm thinking they might release Mountain Biome with a snow area and possibly water. Imagine mountain streams coming down from the mountain. And then release of Sky Islands around Christmas time. I hope Sky Islands has a more fairytale magical feel. A beautiful place where some townsfolk have escaped to but are now under threat and we need to save them. Hopefully new crafters in both areas.

[@PratfallYT]

I’m so intrigued as to how the townsfolk are gonna work…

[@dontworry5909]

The wizard NPC is a good idea

[@samtbarber1]

It has a large crater below covered in the shroud. Its also a bunch of island around that kind of form an incline so likely there's a teleporter you have to fight to in the shroud and then fight over each island to teleport to the next one. Its the largest tower yet so either its the Spire for the mountains or its a totally different dungeon. It's about 50% taller than the others. It also has a bunch of smaller buildings surrounding it on the floating sky islands as well on the main island. None of the buildings are houses though, just more rectangular structures with no spots for doors that surround some of the shrines that house NPC's. I doubt its an actual city but there are some cool balconies with arches that look like they'll house a spot for a walkthrough teleporter, so we'll definitely be using teleporters to access the area. Found using cheat engine.

[@StarGleekPotterhead]

My thoughts are the mountains and some basic weather effect like cold and hot will come together, full on weather like rain and clouds will be a mini update in between a map update. And the sky islands will be a big map increase update but not until late this year.

[@Gulthoran]

Also for the warriors dealing with ranged, maybe fit a skill on the skill tree that could be used to modify the grappling hook to grab enemies and pull them to you.

[@PratfallYT]

The hook shot is something that was mentioned in the “unofficial gamescom roundup”. I hope it’s true!

[@artwithalexander5359]

i went there, took some doing. it looks like spires to me with the tower on the top most one. i'm expecting a shepherd for the ranching on the road map.

[@Grasshoppa65]

What if, the sky islands are just dungeons to the new Mountain biome. What ever they do, I trust it will only enhance my drive to spend time in their wonderfully crafted world.

[@PratfallYT]

We love to find other peopel who truly appreciate the world Keen Games have built! It's genuinely like nothing else made my a developer!

[@beaverhart2566]

I have no idea what's coming next, Regarding the mountains though, I'd like to see weather, introduced. Id like to see hot and cold effects to the player, and maybe a mechanic whereby the player has to wear certain clothes to keep warm/cool Tent crafting would be cool, to create temporary mountain shelters. Maybe a mechanic whereby the player has to move from heat source to heat source, whether it be a campfire or a building, to keep warm and survive. And instead of the shroud timer, you could have a hypothermia timer. Enemy mobs: id like to see bigger wolves, - dire wolves? Werewolves? Cave trolls, mountain giants. Bears. Id like to see silver, as a new ore type. To be able to craft silver weapons which are more effective against the hollow and other undead. Id like to see a lootable "Wolf Armour" we have lots of wolf weapons in the game "wolfs maw, wolf's claw, wolf daggers, wolfs snarl" etc, but no wolf armour. And finally, more food items to be crafted through Emily. Vegetable soups, meat hotpots etc.

[@PratfallYT]

Hot/Cold etc would make perfect sense given that they’ve just implemented a survival mode. I hope they expand on that for sure, would add to the replay ability big time 🤞

[@-8h-]

Heck no, not for the main game anyway, but they can add it to survival mode. Otherwise I'd rather they put their resources into making the game that they want, instead of making it like outward.

[@sethchristy3900]

The amount of things you got right is amazing

[@Aloukard]

i play a full warrior but i always keep a bow and wand for the flying enemy's and a staff or healing

[@juliebeans7323]

I had been wondering if the islands were just where the dev team want the towers/structures to sit, and that tall mountains would be placed/filled in underneath. If they remain floating, then teleport pads make sense to me, given that the glider boosts would never see us get that high. In my world exploration, i have seen several structures in the Ancient's style in the 'red zone'. Most curious indeed.

[@Kristen242008]

I'm betting that we are going to get up to those islands by the towers dotted around on the smaller islands. There will probably be a tower on the ground, that the top is high enough to fly to the next island. Work our way up the tower on THAT island and fly to the next. Rinse and repeat.

[@henriklindholm3187]

I think a quest will get you there to unlock the full game, when the time comes.

[@j.r.shepherd1860]

Good job and love the speculations of what could come.

[@emilioamaralmarquesdemorai1856]

I think the next update will bring us the new floating city, level max increase to 30, along with level 30 weapons and armor sets. The floating city will have a whole new boss, which will allow us to upgrade our flame level, which will allow us to explore some places that are currently red deadly shroud. And probably the floaring city will have a NPC (townsfolk related).

[@PratfallYT]

Level cap increase would be great!

[@mattguimond3106]

I wonder how far out we are from v1.0; we’re up to v0.7. We have to be getting closer. I think they hold mountains and level cap increases to v1.0 But whatever they give us, I’m enjoying it. For most the last update wasn’t as flashy but for me it was amazing as the game is finally running pretty well on my Steam Deck

[@sharkbaitoohhahha]

What if it's all the same biome? The Mountain biome culminates in a "fight" in the sky castle. Something you find in the mountains brings you there.

[@PratfallYT]

Definitely possible 👍

[@theonus_4483]

Roadmaps sometimes exclude content that you don’t want public yet. There’s always 2 versions of a roadmap.

[@gigi3242]

I saw that floating island, but my brain registered, Dalaran, and I didn't think about it. There could just be a portal to it, but giant trampoline sounds fun, lol I think the reason they released this past update, no flash just substance, was trying to bring people back to playing; quite a high percentage of players did not finish the Halls, and hadn't played in months. North of Nomad Highlands, barely into the mountains where the snow slows your walk, there is a huge complex of buildings; I really wanted to build a base there, but it wouldn't let me; maybe that has a connection to the floating island. It's cool to have something to speculate about. What I want. I'd really like to have townsfolk. Thanks for the video.

[@samtbarber1]

There's spots for portals on the towers. So definitely portals. Its a long balcony expanding over the air and at the end of the balcony is an arch for a teleporter.

[@Chiselchip]

fun conversation! Can't wait for the update :)

[@PratfallYT]

@@Chiselchip thanks! Love your builds!

[@thecas_critic]

Crazy to see you only that many subscribers man. I got hooked onto this game about a month ago now after downloading it once it released and fell upon your channel for some help and you guys put out top tier content. Even this podcast like talk session about future updates is great. Hoping it blows up once it hits console release and wish nothing but success for you guys. Keep pushing 🫡

[@PratfallYT]

Thank you so much! We appreciate the kind words, and glad we can help you out a little with the game :)

[@jupiterthree5228]

What about that deadly shroud area just north of the Nomad Highlands tower. I was standing there trying to look inside and it looks like there's a building in there. Maybe that area will open up next. Maybe it's the way to the mountains

[@N1ghtR1der666]

Hopefully a good amount of content with a new max level, I would like to see further expansion to the skill tree and I would like to see further differences to the combat styles between weapon types, buff those that need it and other balance needs

[@billyjoe1888]

I'm thinking the ski will allow us to fly much further... It would be nice

[@dirtybird2202]

It could be the Main Spire of the Ancients, their home which would probably have a Guardian as a main boss and lots of traps and such and several mini boss's. But who knows these maps have so much on them and in them so many mystery's and so much lore. But actually not much lore on the Ancients. And maybe the building blocks of the Spires. There are still many buildings that are blocked to us here and there across the map we have, one almost directly below where you put your beginning base in the game. It's also the best place to gather firefly's at night. There is a weather system in the road map to. What if we found a sleeping ancient or some of them that are suspended much as we were. There is so much they could do with this game yet. So much of the map we have barely touched. As we have only about a third of the map. And some of the map maybe for DLC's later to after the game comes out in full.

[@p1ckl3r1ck]

This game is awesome i really like it. I have a server so i can make progress with my buddy. The difficulty settings was a huge help!!!! i hope they keep the game updated. -changing weather would be nice. rain. snow. or wind so you need to calculate where you going where the wind are going. -MORE WEAPONS AND ARMORS :D -Usable furniture! -More animals and life (maybe flying animals or enemyes) just a lil bit challenge in the air -some places would be nice a Steam or something what keep you in the air longer time (if you have enogh stamina for it)

[@doterraoilmom]

I hope they give us ways to communicate. Actions, chat, something!

[@PratfallYT]

We’d love to see some kind of text chat & emote system! I think they’ll get around to that eventually

[@drlaackenstein]

They've discussed adding the ability to visit other people's worlds and bases- what if the sky island is the Enshrouded equivalent of No Man's Sky's Nexus? Player meetup area, by means of The Ancients?

[@olivergullberg7254]

You mean that you dont want to wake up with some random NPCs sword against your throat when they add townfolk? I think that would be a fun surprice.

I'd love a whole new biome, a proper big one. That would be cool. For the next update I'd like animal farming so that my husband can farm eggs and I don't have to chase the chickens off the cliffs anymore 😅

They do plan to implement water, it just may be a while before they get it in the game! Due to the game being voxel based, water would be a very complex mechanic to add to the game! But the devs are definitely working on it!
