Keen Games has created about 30 new jobs in recent years, doubling their workforce since 2019, although only half of these positions are based in Frankfurt and its surroundings.

With around 60 employees, Keen Games aims to release updates approximately every three months as they continue to enhance the game.

The title "Enshrouded" refers to a toxic fog in the game’s virtual world, Embervale, which brings forth monsters and zombie-like creatures that players must battle.

Players must prepare extensively for combat by gathering supplies, crafting weapons, and rebuilding destroyed structures, following a sandbox-style gameplay similar to "Portal Knights."

Previously, Keen received only a small portion of revenue from publishers, which led them to self-publish via Steam, pricing the game at roughly 30 euros or 30 dollars.

The success of "Enshrouded" has also resulted in increased tax revenues for the state due to the game's profitability.

To support the development and marketing of "Enshrouded," Keen Games partnered with investors including Hiro Capital, Tencent, and Klaas Kersting.

Keen Games began developing "Enshrouded" in 2020, marking a significant shift as the company took on distribution and marketing responsibilities for the first time since its founding in 2005.

In 2021, the company received approximately two million euros from a federal funding program for game developers, which has been crucial in financing their efforts, as total investments in the game exceeded ten million euros.

Since its Early Access launch in January 2024, "Enshrouded" has sold over three million copies and won the award for Best German Game at the German Developer Awards in Cologne.

The game also secured first place in the categories of Game Design and Technical Performance, contributing to Keen Games being named "Studio of the Year."

Despite its success, Jan Jöckel, CEO of Keen Games, stated that "Enshrouded" is still under development, with plans to refine the game for an additional two years based on player feedback.
