The surprise horror hit of the earlier parts of 2023, Sons of the Forest was released to critical acclaim. While the hype died down rather quickly, the game did sell two million copies in its first 24 hours. And now, Endnight’s follow-up to The Forest will be coming out of early access soon.
In a post on Twitter/X, the developer said that Sons of the Forest will be getting its full version 1.0 release on February 22, 2024. This will mark one year since the game came out, so the timing is pretty gnarly.
An update on Steam says a patch will be rolling out soon (if it hasn’t been done already), and the team will “continue to release hotfixes as needed.” However, in the future, Endnight will be putting focus on the next stage of its survival horror sequel.
The studio is grateful for “everyone who joined” the early access
On top of that, the tweet goes on to say that Shawn Ashmore will be expanding his role as the voice of Timmy. Many of you will know him for his voiceover work on the likes of Quantum Break and The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan. Most recently, he played Tim Breaker in Alan Wake 2.
Quickly gaining popularity when it was released earlier this year, Sons of the Forest retained a high position on the Steam charts, even pushing some AAA titles to one side (Lethal Company, who?).
With its cooperative gameplay, creepy atmosphere, and the real star of the show, Kelvin, SotF is one that many will be happy is getting its full release next year.
