Sons of the Forest is a survival horror video game developed and released by Endnight Games in 2023. It’s an improved The Forest sequel, introducing friendly new NPCs, four times bigger map, and multiplayer for up to eight players. Crash on a faraway island and fight for survival! The arrival of another glorious day depends entirely on your decisions and quick reactions. Especially since this forgotten place is inhabited by cannibalistic mutants.

Gameplay

Who are these creatures? Zombies, humans? Better check later, as this adventure starts with pretty essential weapons like a knife or a spear. Hopefully, you’ll obtain something better later in the game. Explore the realistic open world of the wild forest, collect wood, and try to build your first safe place. There are enough resources, so the appearance of the entire base depends entirely on your crafting skills!

Prepare for surprising encounters with some friendly NPCs who can help you survive on this unforgiving island. But know their actions will entirely depend on your decisions and strategies for each day. Plus, there are changing seasons – each brings new opportunities and challenges, like increasingly aggressive opponents who will do anything to get rid of you forever. Sons of the Forest video game is an innovative survival adventure that significantly alters the gameplay mechanics known from the prequel. You can expect the Don’t Starve Together vibe, but set in far more terrifying circumstances.
