But there’re cannibals unique to the environments in which they reside too such as cave-dwelling cannibals. Regular cannibals are spread throughout the game’s vast island environment glimpses in the game’s reveal footage shows a regular cannibal retreating at the sight of the player holding up the skull of its slain brethren. Thanks to a new tool dubbed by Endnight as ‘V.A.I.L.’, AI in Sons of the Forest will be much more reactive to player actions, with NPC’s and enemy factions alike able to display complex behaviours – from showing fear, anger, or frustration and their ability for those emotions to affect decision making, right the way through to enemies being able to launch sabotage missions and co-ordinated attacks on the player’s base.Īlongside improvements to AI, Sons of the Forest comes stuffed with a raft of hostile new enemies, including – of course – more cannibals, most of whom will stop at nothing to eat the player.
As such, he can’t speak but will happily take commands from the player who can instruct him to carry out repetitive busywork such as chopping down trees and gathering logs.Īnother headline innovation for Sons of the Forest is its much-improved AI system for friends and enemies. Named Kelvin, this AI companion is said to be an elite soldier who’s suffered severe head trauma. Sons of the Forest will feature an AI companionįor those who won’t be diving into Sons of the Forest with friends there is the opportunity to play with an AI companion who’ll tag along to help with the less glamourous tasks associated with base building. Here’s hoping the capability for more than four players is introduced in Sons of the Forest. Multiplayer mode in The Forest was a big hit with up to eight players fighting for survival in a single session. There’s no word yet on whether Sons of the Forest will feature eight-player co-op like its predecessor later down the line. So, currently Endnight Games have confirmed co-operative multiplayer mode will only be available for up to four-player at launch. After all, sticking together is key to staying alive in this beautiful, hostile world. Scanning and scavenging the game’s vast island in teams will add an extra dimension as you all come to rely on each other for survival. Unlike The Forest, this upcoming sequel will launch with co-op capability already available instead of being added later. Reportedly four times the size of its predecessor, Sons of the Forest’s open world features familiar climbs of dense vegetation and rocky beachheads and will be 100% explorable from the off, reflecting the vast scope Endnight is putting into this sequel. Perhaps contributing to Sons of the Forest’s numerous delays is Endnight Games over-reaching ambition for the sequel, demonstrated none more so than in its staggering map size.

However, Endnight Games have refined almost every aspect of The Forest Sons of the Forest will feature more in-depth building and crafting mechanics, plus new, more complex enemies. At the outset, Sons of the Forest looks like more of the same – beautiful woodland, base building, mutant enemies, et cetera. Transplanting players into beautiful, dense forestry and forcing them to gather resources, build bases, and use their wits to survive the hordes of hostile mutants was a winning formula Endnight look to be replicating for this upcoming sequel. Sons of the Forest is the highly anticipated follow up to Endnight Games’ breakout 2014 survival horror hit.
