The realm of Enshrouded just got wetter and far more dangerous. Wake of the Water, the survival RPG’s biggest update yet, is now live, bringing dynamic voxel-based water, amphibious enemies, aquatic combat, and a sprawling new biome that changes the way you explore, fight, and survive in Embervale.
Wake of the Water adds fully interactive water systems
The headline addition? Real-time flowing rivers and waterfalls powered by a new voxel water system. But this isn’t just eye candy. You can now swim, dive, harvest underwater resources, and manipulate water for farming, crafting, and even base building. Terraforming with water becomes part of your survival toolkit alongside avoiding the new threats that lurk beneath the surface.
That includes the Drak, a new amphibious enemy faction built for aquatic ambushes. Fight them on land if you can but if they drag you into water, their speed and agility will force you to rethink every tactic.

Veilwater Basin biome changes exploration completely
At the heart of the update is Veilwater Basin, a vast new biome filled with:
- Hidden ruins and treasure chests
- Gold ore and aquamarine deposits
- Passive wildlife like capybaras and wildbeast crabs
- New settlements inhabited by lizard-like NPCs
Every corner of the biome adds verticality and depth literally. Whether you’re grappling through underwater caverns or uncovering submerged ruins, Wake of the Water pushes Enshrouded’s exploration to bold new heights.
New systems: Fishing, base upgrades, and water-powered crafting
A new fishing mechanic brings a rewarding layer to survival. With five rod tiers, dynamic bait like frogs and fireflies, and epic-tier fish, your skill with the rod leads to serious payoffs legendary weapons, trophies, and buffs that boost your stamina and dive time.
Meanwhile, you can now outfit your base with rain barrels, water dispensers, and hydropowered mills, creating entire production pipelines fueled by Embervale’s new water systems.
Combat overhauls and over 60 new weapons
Don’t let the fishing fool you combat’s getting deadlier, too. The update adds:
- 60+ new weapons, including a new greatsword class
- 7 new armor sets
- 10+ new fighting skills
- Combat rebalancing, including elemental damage and gem slot tuning
- An improved fighting UI
These changes aren’t optional. The Drak and their allies aren’t just aesthetic they’re lethal, and you’ll need every new skill and blade to keep up.
Wake of the Water redefines what Enshrouded can be
Wake of the Water isn’t just a content drop it’s a statement. With swimming, fishing, underwater combat, and dynamic environments, the update transforms Enshrouded into a more immersive, strategic, and visually stunning experience. And it arrives just as the game prepares for its 1.0 console and PC launch in 2026.
From passive exploration to pulse-pounding combat, Enshrouded now has depth in every sense of the word. The water’s rising dive in or be swept away.
