Enshrouded is an RPG-infused survival game that had the misfortune of launching in the shadow of Palworld, another open-world survival game that found the kind of virality even AAA studios would kill for. That hasn't stopped it from finding success in its own right, however. Developer Keen Games says Enshrouded hit 1 million players just 4 days after its Early Access launch, making it a hugely popular survival game in its own right.
"We are completely blown away by its success and the overwhelmingly positive reception," the Keen team writes in a Steam post. "From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank all our players. We're excited to let you know that this is just the beginning for Enshrouded." Seeing as how Enshrouded just started an Early Access journey that's currently scheduled to end "within a year," I suppose it would have to be "the beginning," wouldn't it?
