Sons of the Forest - everything we know so far

gamesradar.com:

Sons of the Forest is the long-awaited and much-anticipated sequel to 2014's The Forest. Among the new games for 2023 on our radar, Endnight Games' next venture is essentially The Forest 2 and expands on just about everything its forerunner gave us – in narrative terms, the size of its world, and the myriad weapons, tools and gadgets that we'll need to survive on a cannibal-ridden island. 

The Forest sits among some of the best survival games we've ever played, and Sons of the Forest is shaping up to follow suit. Below we've gathered all the latest Sons of the Forest news for the horror survival game, including story beats, release date information and platform details. To the latter end, Sons of the Forest will launch exclusively on PC, but given the fact its predecessor made its way to PS4 in the end, we reckon a console port down the line is more than possible. Read on for everything you need to know about Sons of the Forest.  

While originally planned to launch in full on February 23, 2023, Endnight Games recently announced Sons of the Forest will arrive on the same date but in Early Access form. The devs stated its reason for doing so was to avoid delaying the game further, and allow players to get their hands on it at the end of February as promised. Prior to this, Sons of the Forest was due in May, 2022, then October later last year. In an official statement (opens in new tab) delivered at the end of last summer, the studio explained it needed "time to complete the polish we feel is needed" due to the increased scope and fidelity of the final product.

The only confirmed release platform for Sons of the Forest is PC, and it sounds like the developers at Endnight are solely focused on PC development for the time
