The team behind Sons of the Forest reveals what’s next – Names 8 concrete improvements

In the current Steam survival hit “Sons of the Forest”, many players have taken a liking to the AI companions Kelvin and Virginia. In a Q&A session, the developers at Endnight have now announced that the helpers are set to become even more useful and autonomous in the future. They also discuss how Sons of the Forest will continue to evolve on its way to release, mentioning eight specific points. Currently, the survival game is still in Early Access on Steam.

What the developers say about Kelvin: In a QA session with fans from Discord and the 2 subreddits for the game, the developers say about everyone’s favorite Kelvin:

We have big plans to give Kelvin more tasks to perform. Some of the things we are working on include allowing him to help build a wall around your base or to reinforce and repair the base when needed.

What is the idea for Virginia? For the mutant Virginia, the creators say:

For Virginia, we plan to add more to her artificial intelligence, such as making her braver when she carries a weapon, and also to base this on how many mutants and cannibals she has already killed.
