One of the most unexpected successes of recent years in the survival horror genre is finally getting a sequel! Sons of the Forest is scheduled for next February, the time for us to summarize everything about it.
The Forest has marked the last few years as having become one of the most essential titles in the survival-horror genre. This creation from the Endnight Games studio took everyone by surprise when it was released in 2018, offering high-level graphics and fundamentally accomplished gameplay. From a simple plane crash on a seemingly deserted island, this indie game transported you into an intricate and deeply disturbing plot, perfectly managing to immerse you in an experience that is both terrifying, and extremely fun. What could be more normal for such a complete success to afford a sequel, a sequel that we know today as Sons of the Forest, and which intends to continue and deepen the experience offered by its elder. Release date, gameplay and pre-orders, here is all the info on Sons of the Forest.
Resuming without hesitation the graphic ambition of its elder, Sons of the Forest demonstrates an extremely impressive technique. From the myriad of new animations pushing crafting and combat to the maximum of realism, to the forest or troglodyte environments more real than life, the ambition of the new title from Endnight Games is palpable. The game plunges you once again on a desert island, this time in search of a missing billionaire. Of course, your stay will be very far from being heavenly since you will have to find the means to survive against the elements, but also against a myriad of cannibal natives hiding much more twisted secrets. The game gives you a sandbox-like adventure while maintaining a storyline that pulls you from one end of the island to the other, much like its predecessor.
The ambition of this project from the modest studio Endnight Games may have led to some production difficulties, the game having been postponed several times to finally be scheduled for February 2023. This is the February 23 next time you can dive back into the wooded depths of a not-so-welcoming place with this release exclusively for Steam and PC gamers. A novelty that is likely to do a lot of good for fans of survival games, since it seems to push all aspects of gameplay already well known to players to the maximum.
