Sons of the Forest Will Release in Early Access

Sons of the Forest was announced a while ago, but it keeps getting delayed since last year. The first expectations for the game were to be released in early 2022, but then it got delayed until October. As you guessed, it was delayed again to the end of this month. According to the latest updates, the developers wanted to delay the game again because the product wasn’t finished. But the community is already mad about the previous delays, so they choose another way. The game isn’t delaying again, but it’s not fully released either. Sons of the Forest will be released in early access on Steam, and here are the details about it.

Don’t worry; the early access is open to everyone. But you won’t be playing with the best experience the developers worked on. The early access details also reveal when the game is expected to be finished. And according to that data, early access is a solution against delaying the game a few more months.

Early access will start on the original release date, February 23rd. The Steam page claims that the early access process is expected to be 6-8 months long. The best thing about the decision is the players will be exploring the game and sending feedback, which will help the game make a more stable release. The early access version will also get updates, but don’t expect stable gameplay with the first versions.

“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 shared 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 we 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.”

“The Forest turned out to be a massive success, due mostly to the awesome community and the suggestions, feedback, and bug reports the players shared with us,” the statement concludes. “We are really excited and hope that players want to come on this new journey with us to make this the ultimate survival horror simulator.”
