Almost a year to the day that developer Endnight Games launched Sons of the Forest into Early Access on Steam, the developer has announced that the open-world survival game will be leaving the service and launching in full on February 22. Accompanying the announcement is the 1.0 launch trailer for Sons of the Forest, courtesy of IGN.
The 1.0 launch will also include a big change in the game with Timmy LeBlanc, now voiced by Shawn Ashmore (X-Men, Alan Wake II, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan). Endnight made the announcement via X, stating that Timmy’s role in Sons of the Forest will be expanded upon in the game and story, but didn’t elaborate on either point. The game does make allusions to this, with Timmy seemingly knowing more about the island than you, including an impending significant event.
Similar to the 2018 original, Sons of the Forest sees you trapped on a cannibal-infested island after being sent to find a missing billionaire. You’ll be relying heavily on survival skills to survive. Survival is the name of the game, as is the interaction. You’ll be breaking sticks to make fires, and using an axe to cut out windows and floors.
In our review of the Early Access version of Sons of the Forest, Brandon remarked that the game is “a solid and somewhat slow-paced survival-horror experience” that was very easy to sink hours into, thanks to the resource gathering and venturing into caves to battle the monsters on the island.
