THE SHORT ANSWER
Enshrouded 1.0 launched on October 15, 2026. The official changelog highlights Cinder's Cradle, two new Hollow Halls, a level cap of 50, equipment up to level 55, Sparkworks and a skill-tree reset.
The headline changes
The 1.0 release completes the map and opens the northern region of Cinder's Cradle beyond the gates past Veilwater Basin. Keen Games describes it as two connected layers: a lava-cut landscape of old ruins below and floating islands above, with Shroud tendrils reaching between them.
The changelog also identifies two newly opened Hollow Halls, in the Albaneve Summits and Veilwater Basin. These are release-note facts, not a route or difficulty walkthrough.
- The full Embervale map is open to explore.
- Cinder's Cradle adds the lava landscape and floating-island layer.
- Two more Hollow Halls are listed in the release notes.
- Sparkworks adds a logic system for linking inputs and outcomes in builds.
Progression and skills
The launch changelog sets the character level cap at 50 and raises equipment to level 55. It also announces a skill-tree reset for the transition to 1.0.

Hotfix 1.0.0.3: fixes and migration caveats
The October 21 hotfix (build 1273043) says affected players can now redeem missing Early Access rewards in the pause menu. It also lists fixes for water-simulation and factory crashes, recipe-filter crashes, a rare save-migration crash, light flickering in large bases, and an endless black screen when loading multiplayer for some players. AMD V-Sync stuttering was improved.
The earlier October 16 hotfix, 1.0.0.2, addressed world settings, Nvidia fog rendering, factories and Adventure Share stability.
