Sons of the Forest - Map 4 times bigger than predecessor game

The popular horror survival game The Forest finally has a sequel, Sons of the Forest. The developers have confirmed that the map of the new game is four times larger than that of the first part. In this article you will find out what awaits you on the new map and what you should consider when planning your survival strategy.

Similar Landscapes, New Features

Sons of the Forest contains similar features to its predecessor: caves, forests, and water are back in the mix. However, there are also many new elements to discover in the new world, such as a changed topography and different seasons.

This means that there are some parts of the map that are naturally snowy by default. Additionally, the center of the map is the coldest area, while the outer areas are warmer in any season.

New GPS System

Another new feature in Sons of the Forest is the GPS system, which replaces the old map from the first game.

The GPS shows important locations such as cave entrances and NPC locations. The developers have also confirmed that the map will not exactly match the end of The Forest.

Helpful Guide

To help players orient themselves on the new map, the guide is being updated and will contain information about cave entrances, keycard locations, and more. It is recommended to check the system requirements of the game to make sure your computer can handle the larger and more detailed world.
