Weird new mutants, hang-gliders and twisted effigies of a snug suburban life misplaced – The Forest is getting a bit stranger in an enormous replace subsequent week. After 4 years in early entry, the sandbox survival-horror game launched in full again in April, however Endnight Games by no means stopped work on it. Since launch, the game has seen a full VR mode added, lots of tweaks and tuning and continued bug-hunting. The subsequent replace will likely be increasing its vaguely lovecraftian world a bit, with new issues to construct and combat and I believe the participant character could also be cracking up a bit within the trailer beneath.
Apparently residing on an island populated by screaming cave-dwelling cannibals and hideous mutant limb-beasts takes its toll. Or possibly it’s simply because our protagonist has been poking round on the eerie glowing artifacts an excessive amount of. Either manner, the patch trailer opens with the unsettling sight of a participant having constructed a brand new, idyllic life for themselves out of wooden and straw. A scarecrow spouse, a loyal wood canine and a automobile made out of logs. We additionally get to see some rickety-looking cling gliders, being demonstrated within the game’s on-line co-op mode.
What I’m most excited by are the brand new threats. Horrible, gangly mutant tripods with little resemblance to something humanoid anymore. Their signature assault is simply as alien, spinning wildly, two limbs outstretched as they decrease themselves to the bottom – a whirling, pummelling vortex of meat. And regardless of the hell that’s on the finish of the trailer, I virtually don’t wish to know. So far, all the pieces within the game has not less than adhered to the legal guidelines of physics, give or take. That factor is one thing else, and I don’t assume I’m going to be taking it on with out that new crossbow not less than.
The Forest is getting these unusual new delights in an replace subsequent Monday, December 10th.
