Forest 3, the latest installment from Endnight Games, was revealed at The Game Awards amid high anticipation. The game marks a departure with its new sci-fi elements, showcasing a starship setting and survival challenges on a swampy alien planet.
Trailer Highlights and Setting
The trailer for Forest 3 presents a dramatic crash-landing sequence that leads to an adventure on a distant planet. With a grey-blue, atmospheric swamp landscape, players are propelled into survival activities like hunting and gathering, with the visual mood reminiscent of cinematic sci-fi titles.
The design notably moves away from traditional forest settings seen in The Forest and Sons of the Forest—Endnight Games' previous releases.
Plot and Game Features
Echoing the narrative structure of past entries, the game begins with an unexpected crash, though now in a futuristic setting with more technological elements. A distinctive feature is the omission of typical forestry survival tasks, avoiding elements like 'tree punching' in favor of futuristic scenarios.
The teaser suggests new threats, including zombified creatures emerging from murky waters, adding to its suspenseful atmosphere.
Release and Expectations
While a specific release date for Forest 3 has not been announced, the reveal has piqued interest in the gaming community. As of now, the game lacks a live Steam page.
Industry insiders anticipate further announcements from Endnight Games about Forest 3's development progress and availability.
