Dec 04, 2023 12:20 PM

Sons of the Forest, the survival horror game by Endnight Games, is scheduled to leave Early Access and launch its full 1.0 release on Steam on February 22, 2024. This highly anticipated release comes after the Early Access version of the game sold over 2 million copies within the first 24 hours of its debut in February. Not only will the game feature improved finishing touches, but it will also introduce Shawn Ashmore as the voice of Timmy, who plays a significantly expanded role in the upcoming release. Shawn Ashmore is already well-known for his roles in films and games like Quantum Break and the upcoming Alan Wake 2. Players can expect an enhanced gaming experience as they explore the eerie forest setting, facing threats from mutants and cannibals in this gripping continuation of The Forest's storyline. Along with the announcement, more detailed information is promised to be shared in the future.

What new features can players expect in the full release of Sons of the Forest compared to the Early Access version?

While the exact new features for the full release of Sons of the Forest have not been fully disclosed, players can anticipate a more polished game with added voice acting for the character Timmy, played by Shawn Ashmore. Additional gameplay enhancements, bug fixes, and possibly new content will be expected as part of the transition from Early Access to the full 1.0 release version.

Stoked to hear about Endnight Games leveling up Sons of the Forest with Shawn Ashmore on board for Timmy; his involvement could add some serious depth to an already immersive survival experience. And if the Early Access sales are anything to go by, the full release is gonna be one wild ride through those mutant-infested woods 🌲🎮👻

Sons of the Forest pulling out of Early Access is huge, especially since it crushed the sales game from the get-go. With Shawn Ashmore on board and hype through the roof, it sounds like Endnight Games is gearing up to give fans a sequel that's seriously next-level. 🌲👻🎮

Sons of the Forest stepping up with Shawn Ashmore on board is a sweet deal; it's like that unexpected level-up boon when you thought you were just grinding the usual mobs. Having already nailed a killer early run, I'm stoked to see how they flesh out the full release with those polished edges and extra content that take it from a solid playthrough to epic survival saga territory.
