The Sons of the Forest release date has been a hard one to pin down. Seemingly in a horror survival of its own, every time we get close to it, it manages to wriggle free and escape our clutches. The anticipated follow up to the acclaimed The Forest was slated for release in May 2022, but developer Endnight Games deemed this date “overly ambitious”, pushing its release to late 2022. Apparently that too was overly ambitious, and a new release date was set – will this one stick?
Beyond announcements concerning the Sons of the Forest release date, Endnight Games is keeping details about the survival game remarkably close to its chest, and comms have been few and far between. Aside from a handful of creepy teaser trailers, we’ve been kept in the dark about what players can expect from the horror game. The Sons of the Forest Steam page is similarly brief, but promises crafting, co-op, and yes – cannibals.
