After coming together in PC Early Access for two years, survival action RPG Enshrouded has a 1.0 launch date. Look for the game to arrive on PlayStation 5 and PC on October 15.

An Xbox Series X/S version of Enshrouded will arrive in Spring 2027. The voxel-based survival action game sees players working alone or with others in 8-player co-op as the Flameborn, the only hope for stopping a corrupting fog wreaking havoc across a kingdom. While exploring the vast world to uncover forgotten remnants of the past, players can gather resources to construct buildings and settlements to house NPCs, craft gear, and cut down threats in combat and while dungeon crawling.

"Our team worked tirelessly to launch Enshrouded 1.0 and its exciting new content simultaneously across PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. Enshrouded combines large-scale voxel building, fully terraformable worlds, advanced multiplayer systems, and a vast open world in ways that are technically very demanding. As we approached launch, we decided that achieving the level of quality and performance we expect on Xbox would require additional time," said Jan Jöckel, CEO of Keen Games, in a press release. "We never want to rush a platform release or compromise on quality. Development of the Xbox version is progressing steadily, and we’re planning to bring Enshrouded to Xbox players in spring 2027. Players can look forward to learning much more about Enshrouded 1.0 this summer."

During its two years in Early Access, Enshrouded received eight major content updates, three new biomes, along with new monsters, weapons, armor, materials, decor, and more. Developer Keen Games also added dynamic weather. Despite launching into 1.0, Keen Games promised to support Enshrouded with new content "for years to come."

Xbox picks up Kojima’s Physint after PlayStation dropped it

Xbox will now publish Physint, an upcoming game from Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, after PlayStation decided to cancel it. The unexpected swap came in a flurry of announcements from PlayStation, Xbox, Kojima Productions, and Kojima himself. Sony, which published both of Kojima Productions' previous Death Stranding games, framed it as a "difficult decision to &8230;

Kojima’s Physint Dropped By PlayStation, Rescued By Xbox

Sony has revealed today that it will no longer be working with Kojima Productions on stealth action game Physint(https://www.gamespot.com/games/physint/), while Kojima announced that Xbox has stepped up to rescue the project. The change in publishers means both of Kojima's upcoming projects are now being made in partnership with Xbox, a departure from his long history of developing games for the PlayStation. PlayStation's official statement didn't say why it chose to end its support of Physint, leaving gamers to speculate on the reasons behind its shock exit. "We continue to have great admiration for Hideo Kojima's vision for the game," Sony said, adding, "we look forward to continued close collaboration with Hideo Kojima and his award-winning independent studio in the future." https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/2097875212427735146 Kojima posted from his personal account with more details, saying that PlayStation cancelled Physint as of mid-June this year, and the new collaboration with Xbox came as a result of the studio's determination to keep the project alive. https://twitter.com/HIDEOKOJIMAEN/status/2097877506401681753 "We're honored that Kojima-san has chosen Xbox to work with Kojima Productions on Physint," said Xbox CEO Asha Sharma(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/09/09/xbox-and-kojima-productions-expand-partnership-to-publish-physint/) in a statement. "His ambition to challenge conventions reflects the kind of creativity we want to support at Xbox." Though it may be surprising after Kojima's long history of collaborating with PlayStation, from his work at Konami to both Death Stranding games, Kojima also has an existing working relationship with Xbox, which is publishing his upcoming horror game OD. Xbox's statement added that its collaboration with Kojima Productions will go beyond these two games, also collaborating "across film and television to bring new stories to broader audiences." Kojima assured fans that despite the change in publishers, development on Physint "is ongoing and will continue moving forward," though the game is still likely in an early phase of development. Kojima has said that Physint will be his return to Metal Gear-like action-espionage games(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kojima-explains-why-physint-is-his-return-to-mgs-like-action-espionage/1100-6531835/), adding that it would use cutting-edge technology to blur the lines between movies and video games(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/hideo-kojimas-physint-is-still-in-conceptual-stage/1100-6533807/).
