The sequel to 2014's The Forest, Sons of the Forest sends players to find a missing billionaire on a remote island where they find themselves in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world 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.

Arm yourself with pistols, axes, stun batons and more to defend against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like. 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.

Keep an eye on the changing seasons because, as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce, you won't be the only one looking for a meal.

Survive alone, or with friends.
