Developer Endnight Games announced the first-person survival horror game, Sons of the Forest, will leave Early Access and officially launch for PC via Steam on February 22.

View the 1.0 trailer below:

Read details on the game below:

An entirely new experience from the makers of the The Forest.

Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.

A Survival Horror Simulator

Experience complete freedom to tackle the world how you want. You decide what you do, where to go and how best to survive. There are no NPCs barking orders at you or giving you missions you don’t want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next.

Fight Demons

Enter a world where nowhere is safe and fight against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like, and others who are like nothing you have ever seen before. Armed with pistols, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care for.

Build and Craft

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.

Changing Seasons

Pluck fresh salmon directly from streams in spring and summer. Collect and store meat for the cold winter months. You’re not alone on this island, so as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce you won’t be the only one looking for a meal.

Cooperative Gameplay

Survive alone, or with friends. Share items and work together to build defenses. Bring back-up to explore above and below ground.

Next big viral game of the year. The 3rd major Survival game of the year too lol. Game peaked at 414K players the day it launched in Early Access. Gonna be interesting to see how high it goes when the 1.0 version launches.
