Still coming this month but no longer 1.0

Cannibal and arboreal survival ‘em upSons Of The Forestwas due to to launch later this month, and ithas notbeen delayed. It’s developers have announced that they’ve decided to release into Steam Early Access, however, after initially intending to head straight to 1.0.

“It’s been a long journey since we first started ‘Sons ofThe Forest’ development and it’s grown into the biggest most complex game we have ever made,” saysthe announcement. “There is still so much more we want to add; items, new mechanics, gameplay balance and more. We didn’t want to delay again so have instead decided to involve the community in the continued development of this project and keep our February 23rd release date but instead release in Early Access.”

I can’t tell fromits Steam pagewhat Sons Of The Forest does differently, but apparently it’ll have better building, improved AI andwhatever these things are.

In any case, I have no problem with Early Access. It’s just nice when a game isn’t delayed, for a change.
