Open-world survival hit Sons of the Forest leaves Early Access in under 3 months with new story updates featuring a beloved Alan Wake 2 actor
The developer of hit open-world survival game Sons of the Forest has announced the game will be leaving early access early next year and getting additional content.

"Thank you to everyone who has joined us so far in this Early Access journey, we are really excited for what we have in store for the v1.0 release and beyond," the announcement ends.
