According to the steam page, the main mission of the game is to save a “billionaire on a remote island” and survive the onslaughts of horrifying cannibals and other nightmarish monstrosities. The game has an open-world map, which means players can take different paths to complete their mission and find the missing billionaire. 

The game has had a lot of delays since the announcement, but developers are planning to stick with the current February release date. The team shared, “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. There is still so much more we want to add; items, new mechanics, gameplay balance, and more.” However, it won’t be a full release; the game will be released as early access. 

The steam page of the game revealed further details. According to the store page, the players can access pistols, axes, stun batons, and more to protect themselves and fight against the hordes. Regarding the immersive animations, the store page sheds more light, “Feel every interaction; Break sticks to make fires. Use an axe to cut out windows and floors. Build a small cabin, or a sea-side compound, the choice is yours.”

The game also features changing weather and seasons, a wide range of animals, and complete freedom of choosing one’s path to completing the primary mission.
