Players must survive by creating shelter, weapons, and other survival tools. In The Forest, players control Eric LeBlanc and must survive on a forested peninsula in search of his son Timmy after a devastating plane crash. A sequel game, Sons of the Forest, is set to be released to Early Access for Windows on February 23, 2023. The game was a commercial success, selling over five million copies by the end of 2018.
