Endnight Games clearly has big plans for the future of Sons of the Forest, and this update is just the beginning. In addition to the new features, they’ve also made a ton of balance changes, improvements, and fixes to make the game more stable and enjoyable for everyone. And let’s not forget about Kelvin, the game’s iconic sidekick, who’s now a bit less “interesting” thanks to some much-needed fixes.

But let’s get back to the fun stuff, shall we?

And the new defensive wall gate is a must-have for anyone looking to fortify their base and keep out unwanted visitors.
Of course, with all these new features come new challenges. The mid-game boss fight is sure to put even the most skilled survivalists to the test, and you’ll need to be on your toes if you want to come out alive. But with the right strategy and a little bit of luck, you just might emerge victorious.
Overall, this update is a great sign for the future of Sons of the Forest. Endnight Games is clearly committed to making this one of the best survival horror games out there, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store next. So grab your hang glider, pack your binoculars, and get ready to explore the forest like never before!
