The release of Sons of the Forest is in less than 2 months. Now, new gameplay shows the NPC companions and gives more details about the survival sequel to The Forest. We have all the details.
Here's what's happening: On 23 February, Sons of the Forest, the hotly anticipated sequel to the survival hit The Forest, will be released. The American magazine IGN has already previewed the title and shows new gameplay in a video. We were particularly interested in the NPC companions, which appear for the first time in the sequel. But further details about the game can also be seen in the video.

In Sons of the Forest you will meet several NPCs in the course of the game who are friendly to you or whom you can convince to help you on the island. Your first companion is Calvin, a soldier and comrade of yours who survived the crash. We don't yet know how many other companions there will be.
This is how your companion works: Calvin, your first companion, is deaf due to the crash and has suffered head trauma. He won't be able to communicate with you, and in 8-player multiplayer, you will only have one companion. You can use your notepad to give orders to Calvin so that he collects resources for you and delivers them to a chosen point. He can also follow you, attack enemies or hunt.
Companions will periodically take a break and eat something. If you do not take good care of them or behave badly towards them, they will do their work more and more slowly.
How to recruit new companions: To recruit new companions for your cause, you must find out what these companions want from you. Besides Calvin, there is currently only one other known companion that you can recruit in Sons of The Forest. This is the mutant woman Virginia, who has already appeared in various trailers.
At the beginning of your adventure, she will flee from you, but she has a rather reckless nature. You will be able to recruit her, although the developers won't say more about it yet, and increase her trust in you if you are nice to her.
We're looking forward to the release of Sons of the Forest and can't wait to see what surprises developer Endnight Games has in store.
