Enshrouded Wake of Water update release date and time
The Wake of Water update for Enshrouded is officially set to arrive on Nov. 10. It was originally slated to launch sometime in October, but was pushed back "in order to give Wake of the Water all the polish it needs," according to an official dev update blog.
An exact launch time hasn't been shared yet, but all past patches, including both major updates and smaller ones focused on bug fixes, have all launched between 7am and 8am CT. It seems likely then that this one will too, so we've set our timer to 7am for now.

Enshrouded Wake of Water update features
As the name hints, Enshrouded's Wake of Water update primarily focuses on introducing water to the world of Embervale. There are plenty of other exciting additions, both water-focused and otherwise, to look forward to as well, though, so here's a breakdown of all key update features.
- Water – Water finally exists in Embervale, as the Wake of Water update adds water with physics.
- Water biome – A new water-focused region is being added in this update, and it includes a gorgeous-looking temple-like structure nestled among a tropical environment.
- Swimming mechanics – Dive under the surface and explore everything hidden underwater with new swimming mechanics.
- Weapons overhaul – Weapons are getting a massive rework to better align their names with their actual abilities. The goal of this overhaul is to "better match [weapon] visual and thematic identities," according to an official dev update blog. An example of this new vision is the Ice-Coated Daggers, which will now deal pierce and ice damage, plus have unlockable ice damage perks with upgrades instead of just dealing cut and pierce damage as they do now. Weapon durability has been enhanced across all weapons and now scales with level and rarity.
- Aquatic enemies – New ways to explore also mean new foes to face, and there are plenty of them lurking underwater.
- Fishing – In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment featured at about 52 seconds into the teaser trailer, two players are fishing, which means this is yet another water-focused addition arriving in the update.
- Craftable lore weapons – Any lore weapon unlocked at any stage can now be crafted. This also means you can craft better versions of lore weapons, so if you find a weak one you like early on, you can always craft a higher-level version of it. There are craftable lore weapons for every weapon type, so there's something available for all classes.
- New enemy weapons – More weapons can now drop from enemies, including items like the Fell Thunderbrute Greatsword to the Scavenger's fearsome Acid Cleaver. Enemy weapon drops also scale with enemy level and range in rarity from common to legendary.
- Regeneration balance – Health regeneration, stamina regeneration, and mana regeneration have all been reduced. This change is designed to make combat more interesting and something you have to prepare for ahead of time by eating, making potions, and building your character.
- New Mage spell – A fresh spell called Fire Bolt is now available to Mages. It's an early game spell that has been added to address the lack of support for this class early on.
- Removed exploit – A chest loot exploit used by many players has been officially removed with this update. Loot chests now save their looted state, which means you can no longer reload the game to try and obtain different items from them.
If you're not sure what to do while you wait for the update to arrive, there's plenty to work on in Enshrouded. You might work on gathering all building blocks and materials, acquiring Dried Fur, finding gems, and changing your appearance.
