Game News Sons of the Forest: The Survival Game Puts Steam Servers in PLS!
The stories of video games whose success is such that the servers do not want them to be released are legion. Sons of the Forest, the most anticipated survival game of the moment, seems to be adding its stone to the building by completely blowing up the Steam servers.
What is Sons of the Forest?
If the title of the game means something to you, it’s not really trivial. Announced during the Game Awards 2019, the game developed by Endnight Games is none other than the sequel to the already very popular The Foresta survival game released five years ago and which offered the player an adventure in a disturbing forest.
Highly anticipated by fans of the first episode, but also by all lovers of survival games in need of novelties, Sons of the Forest was finally to reveal itself to the public this evening thanks to the opening of its early access on Steam. In order to achieve the ambition of making “the ultimate horror and survival simulation”, the developers at Endnight Games have planned a period of 6 to 8 months between the arrival of early access and the official release of the game. game, the date of which has yet to be announced.
As you can see in the game’s trailer available in auto-play, the survival game promises particularly sumptuous graphics, which should help quite a few players immerse themselves in this gloomy forest. In addition to this visual aspect, it will be necessary to expect a simple goal and a pronounced freedom of action to achieve it. Indeed, by playing Sons of the Forest, you will have to find a missing billionaire without really being guided by an NPC or by well-defined missions.

If you were looking forward to this evening to put on your boots and go on an excursion in the heart of the forest, you have certainly been put off by the state of the Steam servers. Indeed, since the game arrived in early access around 7 p.m. and until at least 9 p.m., many users of the platform have faced a wall when buying their version of the game.
