Endnight Games, the developers behind the PC exclusive survival game The Forest, released the game’s sequel, Sons of the Forest. While the game is not currently planned for release on Xbox consoles, Endnight Games has expressed interest in bringing the game to consoles in the future. For now, fans can look forward to the early access period on PC and check out other great survival games on Xbox.
The release of Endnight Games’ Sons of the Forest, the highly-anticipated sequel to The Forest, arrived in February. The survival game sees players attempting to survive on an island, while avoiding being attacked by cannibalistic mutants. Despite several delays, Endnight Games has maintained its early access release date for the PC platform. However, gamers on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch will not have access to the game at this time. In an interview with Gaming Bolt, Endnight Games stated its interest in releasing a console version in the future. While no official release date has been announced for console versions, fans of the game can hold out hope for a console release in the future.
The early access release of Sons of the Forest on PC was critically acclaimed by fans of the original game, and it’s clear that Endnight Games has put a lot of effort into making sure that the sequel lives up to its predecessor. With the new gameplay additions and the continued focus on survival mechanics, Sons of the Forest has already earned a lot of positive reviews from those who have been lucky enough to try it out.
Despite the lack of an official announcement for a console release, the fact that Endnight Games is open to the possibility is certainly promising. The Forest eventually made its way to PS4 after its initial PC release, so it’s not out of the question that Sons of the Forest could do the same.
In the meantime, console players can still enjoy a wealth of other survival games on their platforms of choice. Games like The Long Dark, Subnautica, and State of Decay 2 all offer their own unique takes on the survival genre, and are definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of the genre.
Overall, the release of Sons of the Forest on PC is a promising sign for the future of the survival game genre. With the continued success of games like The Forest and its sequel, it’s clear that players are still hungry for challenging and engaging survival experiences. Whether you’re a PC player eagerly awaiting the full release of Sons of the Forest or a console player hoping for a future release, there’s no doubt that the survival game genre has a bright future ahead.
As of now, it seems that PC players will have the exclusive experience of Sons of the Forest for some time, but console players need not lose hope. Endnight Games has a history of bringing their games to consoles eventually, and they have expressed interest in doing so for Sons of the Forest.
For now, PC players can enjoy the early access release of Sons of the Forest and provide feedback to help improve the game for its official launch. Console players, on the other hand, can check out some of the other great survival games available on their platforms, such as The Long Dark, DayZ, or Green Hell, while they wait for any news about a potential console release of Sons of the Forest.
Sons of the Forest’s exclusive release on PC is not surprising given the game’s history, but it is nonetheless disappointing for console players eagerly anticipating its release. With Endnight Games expressing interest in bringing the game to consoles in the future, console players can hold out hope that they too will have the chance to experience this highly anticipated survival game.
In addition, the game’s open-world format, filled with adventure and survival challenges, makes it appealing to gamers who enjoy the genre. Players will also have the opportunity to craft, explore and build structures in order to survive on the island, and with a new storyline, The Sons of the Forest promises to deliver the same level of excitement and tension as its predecessor.
As for the console release of Sons of the Forest, fans will have to wait for further announcements. But, if The Forest’s success is anything to go by, then it’s likely that Endnight Games will eventually make the sequel available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. Until then, PC players can dive into the game in Early Access format and experience the new challenges and adventures that await them on the island.
