by Rainier on Feb. 3, 2023 @ 4:04 p.m. PST

Sequel to The Forest, Sons Of The Forest is a first-person survival/horror game.

Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.

Sons Of The Forest was initially planned for release on May 20th, pushed until October 2022further delayed until Feb. 2023, but has now switched from full launch to Early Access.

Hey Everyone,

It’s been a long journey since we first started ‘Sons of The Forest’ development and it’s grown into the biggest most complex game we have ever made. There is still so much more we want to add; items, new mechanics, gameplay balance and more. We didn’t want to delay again so have instead decided to involve the community in the continued development of this project and keep our February 23rd release date but instead release in Early Access.

‘The Forest’ turned out to be a massive success, due mostly to the awesome community and the suggestions, feedback, and bug reports the players shared with us. We are really excited and hope that players want to come on this new journey with us to make this the ultimate survival horror simulator.

Key Features:

  • A Survival Horror Simulator: Experience complete freedom to tackle the world how you want. You decide what you do, where to go and how best to survive. There are no NPC's barkihttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1326470/Sons_Of_The_Forest/ng orders at you or giving you missions you don't want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next.
  • Fight Demons: Enter a world where nowhere is safe and fight against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like, and others who are like nothing you have ever seen before. Armed with pistols, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care for.
  • Build and Craft: Feel every interaction; Break sticks to make fires. Use an axe to cut out windows and floors. Build a small cabin, or a sea-side compound, the choice is yours.
  • Changing Seasons: Pluck fresh salmon directly from streams in spring and summer. Collect and store meat for the cold winter months. You're not alone on this island, so as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce you won't be the only one looking for a meal.
  • Co-op Gameplay: Survive alone, or with friends. Share items and work together to build defenses. Bring back-up to explore above and below ground.

Sons Of The Forest is in development for PC (Steam), coming to Steam Early Access on February 23, 2023 at $29.99.
