When is the Sons of the Forest release date? If you’ve been pondering that question, the answer you seek is right here in this very article.

That’s right, folks. The Forest is getting a sequel, Sons of the Forest, and despite there not being a ton of information out there on it right now, it remains a title that many of us are chomping at the bit to play.

The original game was released back in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows and the survival horror won people over. Now the sequel is coming, we are all hoping that it will take what worked with the first and turn Sons of the Forest into something quite special.

Time will tell if they pull it off but for now, here is all we know so far about Sons of the Forest.

When is the Sons of the Forest release date?

The Sons of the Forest release date will take place on Friday, 20th May 2022. The game was recently delayed into 2022 and there were some that thought we may not get it until much later in the year – we’ll definitely take a May release over one in the Winter months of 2022.

What platforms can I get Sons of the Forest on?

Like many things about Sons of the Forest, this too remains under wraps, but it seems very likely that you’ll end up playing Sons of the Forest on PC at launch, with PS4 and PS5 consoles possibly getting a port later on.

Microsoft Windows got the first game originally and it was soon ported over to PlayStation. Logic dictates that those platforms should have Sons of the Forest, too, but word is yet to reach us as to whether the game will also make itself at home on the Xbox or Nintendo Switch.

Can I pre-order Sons of the Forest?

Not yet! The May 2022 release date has only just been confirmed so it will be a little while until those all-important pre-order links go live. As soon as they do, we’ll update this very page to save you the trouble of searching.
