2024 quickly got off to a hot start in the gaming world, with the swift releases of breakout early access hits like Palworld and Enshrouded. After garnering more than two million players on Steam, the developers behind Enshrouded are now rolling out the first major content update.

Keen Games, the studio behind Enshrouded, have announced the Hollow Halls update, which includes larger dungeons, a new enemy faction, new gear and crafting recipes, quality of life updates and more, a first step towards the incoming 1.0 update.

Keen Games plans to keep Enshrouded in Early Access until 2025, but if this first update is any indication of what players can expect in the year ahead, there should be plenty for players to engage with on the road to the game's 1.0 release.

Some of the highlights from the Hollow Halls update include:

• Each biome has a new playable area called the “Hollow Halls”, with enemies and challenges corresponding to the level of the biome. These daunting new dungeons come with a multitude of new challenges and exciting rewards.
• New quests leading through the new content. Talk to the Alchemist to get started.
• New enemies await you in the depths.
• A new survivor can be discovered in the Hollow Halls.
