Forest 3 Confirmed by Endnight as Sons of the Forest Follow-Up With First Trailer Trailer | The Game Awards 2025
Endnight Games showed up for The Game Awards 2025 with what may be one of the most unexpected announcements of the night: Forest 3 is coming.
A trailer for the latest in its line of popular survival games revealed a visual style unlike anything the series has seen so far. It’s a lot to digest, as first-person gameplay footage showed off lots of sci-fi technology, what seems to be a shoulder-mounted crane, and many new, dangerous environments to explore.
