‘Sons of the Forest’, the sequel to the acclaimed survival horror game ‘The Forest’, has been making waves in the gaming community since its early access release in February 2023. Developed by Endnight Games, this title has quickly climbed the ranks to be considered one of the top survival horror games available. This article delves into the game’s journey from its early access phase to its much-anticipated full release scheduled for February 22nd, 2024.
The Rise of ‘Sons of the Forest’
Since its initial release into early access, ‘Sons of the Forest’ has garnered significant attention and praise for its engaging gameplay, immersive environments, and constant improvements. Endnight Games has dedicated substantial effort to refining and expanding the game, evident in its rise in popularity and surpassing the success of its predecessor, ‘The Forest’.
The Leap to Full Release
‘Sons of the Forest’ is poised to leave its early access status behind, transitioning into a fully-released game. This step marks a significant milestone for Endnight Games and the title itself, symbolizing the culmination of a year’s worth of updates, enhancements, and community feedback. This transition is not just a formality; it represents the evolution of ‘Sons of the Forest’ into a more polished and complete gaming experience.
The Monumental Update
Coinciding with its full release, ‘Sons of the Forest’ is set to receive a massive update. This update is noteworthy not only for its scale but also for the involvement of Hollywood actor Shawn Ashmore, known for his roles in ‘X-Men’, ‘The Boys’, and ‘Animorphs’. Ashmore will lend his voice to the character ‘Timmy’, enhancing the narrative depth and character development within the game.
Community-Led Changes and Player Engagement
The success of ‘Sons of the Forest’ can be attributed in part to the active involvement of its community.

A Mixed Experience for Console Gamers
As of now, there is no indication of a console release for ‘Sons of the Forest’. This absence is felt by console gamers who do not have access to a PC.
