Sons Of The Forest has recently left Early Access and released a huge update to version 1.0. In addition to many small improvements, players can look forward to a new, alternative ending.
What kind of update is this? Sons Of The Forest had been in Early Access for a year on Steam, after the game was postponed multiple times before. Yesterday, exactly one year after the release of the “Early Access” version, the game received the long-awaited update 1.0 from fans, which includes over 250 changes, improvements, bug fixes, and new features.
One feature is particularly exciting; until now, players could complete Sons Of The Forest in its early form and reach the end. However, the developers have now added a new, alternative ending.
If you want to start a new save with the new version, we have 5 tips for a good start in the game:
Players can experience a new ending
What’s included in the update? The update reads like a long list full of ideas, wishes, and improvements that players of the game have been waiting for a long time. The new ending, which players can choose and which we cannot go into details about for spoiler reasons, is likely to please fans just as much as an old acquaintance who now appears in the game.
We are talking about little Timmy from the first part The Forest, who is also voiced by Shawn Ashmore. You may know him from various movies like X-Men: Days of Future Past, Acts of Violence, or the series The Boys.
In the new update, you will also be watched by Jianyu helicopters circling your bases to see what you are up to. Overall, the patch notes read very positively; there are many changes included that are supposed to improve the gameplay and make the atmosphere even more exciting.
What changes in the gameplay? Many details are also changing in the gameplay. However, the most interesting change will likely be the eating and drinking, which you will need to pay more attention to in the future. The developers have integrated a new system that will make you sick if you drink unfiltered water or eat spoiled food.
The story of the game has also been further expanded beyond the optional ending. For the new version 1.0, the developers recommend starting a new save to experience all features. While old saves are compatible, they do not represent some of the new features.
