Sons of the Forest gets huge update, gives Kelvin spicier personality

pcgamesn.com:

Sons of the Forest is one of my favorite games to hop into with a group of close pals, especially with its humorous big head setting activated. I loved Endnight Games’ first indie horror survival experience, but the second one is undoubtedly superior with improved gameplay, visuals, and Kelvin. That’s right, Kelvin. The beloved companion with absolutely no thoughts. With Sons of the Forest’s latest update, dubbed ‘Patch 12,’ Kelvin gets a personality makeover and the game gets a ton of other new features.

With the latest Sons of the Forest update, we get a bit of everything from new materials to tools. The survival game is still in early access, which means that we can expect to see more of these massive patches in the future. This one adds “a new cave that contains a pick axe,” Endnight writes alongside its Sons of the Forest patch notes. If there’s a pick axe, there must be something new to use it with, right?

“The pick axe can be used to mine the Solafite mineral found in caves,” which is the game’s new material that is “used with one of the new buildable structures.” That’s right, we’ve now got two more book items to find so that we can build those new structures. My camp is going to look better than ever, especially with a more human Kelvin gathering the materials I need.

Endnight says that the team “added more reactions and emotes to Virginia and Kelvin,” including things like approval, confusion, disapproval, joy, sadness, and more. Unfortunately, the cannibals are also a bit more ‘alive’ thanks to this patch. Once alerted, they’ll call for backup more quickly, so get ready to practice running in-game.
