Enshrouded: “Wake of the Water” Introduces Underwater Biomes, Greatswords, and Fishing
The developers at Keen Games are turning up the heat with Update 7, “Wake of the Water” – and this time, things are getting wet, intense, and packed with new gameplay possibilities. 🌊⚔️
🌊 Water, At Last
Until now, Enshrouded was a pretty dry affair—literally. That’s changing with this update. A fully fledged water system is being introduced: rivers, lakes, ponds, and even dynamic water that can move and be redirected. Expect to see water wheels and rooms filling with water as you race against time inside dungeons.
Best of all, water isn’t confined to a single new area—it’s spread across the entire game world. The new underwater biome features a tropical atmosphere and is clearly aimed at experienced players ready to dive deep—quite literally. 🌴💧
⚔️ New Weapon: The Greatsword
One of the most anticipated additions is the greatsword—a massive two-handed weapon that delivers serious close-combat impact. Players can unlock it relatively early, injecting fresh energy into combat. Expect heavy hits, wide swings, and pure medieval muscle power. 💥🗡️
🎣 Fishing & New Loot
Finally—fishing comes to Enshrouded! Players can craft fishing rods, use bait, and cook or trade their catch. The update also adds new puzzles and treasure challenges, including underwater ruins and hidden dungeons packed with rewards for players who love to explore and solve mysteries. 🐟💎
🧩 Biomes, Enemies & Deeper Gameplay
The tropical underwater biome draws inspiration from Southeast Asian environments, featuring lush scenery and unique architecture. New enemies, including a lizard-like race called the Drak, inhabit these regions and use new underwater combat tactics. 🐉
Water also becomes an active gameplay mechanic: redirect currents, operate sluices, and use water pressure in puzzles or base-building. It’s a clever blend of survival, exploration, and light engineering. ⚙️🌊
📅 Release Window
The “Wake of the Water” update is scheduled for October 2025. While an exact date hasn’t been announced, community speculation points to either early or late October.
According to Keen Games’ roadmap, the full 1.0 release of Enshrouded is planned for spring 2026. 🗓️
