The Sons of the Forest UK launch time has also been confirmed, so you know exactly when to stop working and start playing the creepy-looking new game.

So, if horror games are your thing and you've got a PC that is up to the task, keep on reading and we'll run through the key details about the Sons of the Forest release date!

When is the Sons of the Forestrelease date?

The Sons of the Forest release date is Thursday 23rd February.

The game has been delayed twice, having previously been scheduled for May 2022 and October 2022 release windows before moving to its current date. However, Endnight Games has stated this will be the last delay, which is looking likely now that we have an exact date and price.

What is the UK launch time for Sons of the Forest?

The Sons of the Forest UK launch time is 5pm GMT, the developers have confirmed.

With that tantalisingly-close unlock time in mind, you might want to sneak away from work a little early if possible!

Can I pre-order Sons of the Forest?

Surprisingly not! The February 2023 release date has been confirmed for a while now, but the game's Steam page is still showing the option to 'wishlist' the game rather than putting your money down in advance.

On top of that, popular PC gaming outlet CD Keys is only showing the option to 'notify me' when it's possible to buy. It might be wise to just check back tonight when you're ready to start playing!

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 Forest 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.

Anything other than what is in the above trailer remains hidden away in the minds of Endnight Games, but expect to meet a lot of faces that want to kill you as you make your way through the game.

The forest environment seems to be back once again, as expected, but modern buildings have been added and it would seem that we will be spending at least some of our time inside them.

Now the new release date window has been confirmed, we should have more information coming any day now about what to expect in Sons of the Forest - we'll update you as soon as we hear anything.
