The Sons of the Forest is fast approaching – with early access kicking off on February 23rd.
Developed by Endnight Games, the team behind the hugely successful The Forest, Sons of the Forest once again gives the player complete freedom to tackle the world how they want.
“There are no NPC’s barking orders at you or giving you missions you don’t want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next,” says the game’s official Steam page.
Sons of the Forest was originally due to launch on February 23, however the developers said they need to add more features and mechanics, and opted for an early access period instead.
“It’s been a long journey since we first started ‘Sons of The Forest’ development and it’s grown into the biggest most complex game we have ever made,” the team said in a statement on Steam.
“There is still so much more we want to add; items, new mechanics, gameplay balance and more. We didn’t want to delay again so have instead decided to involve the community in the continued development of this project and keep our February 23rd release date but instead release in Early Access.”
So, what time does early access kick off, and when can you play Sons of the Forest? Here’s everything you need to know.
