The latest update for Sons of the Forest introduces exciting new features and improvements to the game. Patch 07, developed by Endnight Games, not only includes the usual bug fixes and quality-of-life updates but also adds drivable golf carts, decorative animal heads, a new boss battle, and an end-game cutscene. In addition, the update brings new dedicated servers to enhance the multiplayer experience.

The development team elaborates on the patch, stating, “This patch adds a new boss battle along with a new cutscene to the end of the game, as well as drivable golf carts, a rifle which can be found in one of the caves, frogs that sit on lily pads and chirp, the ability to chop heads off dead animals and use them as wall decorations, a bunch of stone building improvements, and lots more.”

Among the new features introduced in Patch 07 are stone doorways, struts, windows, and detached pillar placement. Players will also find a new stone holder structure, window shutters, and new story note pickups. Notably, a dirty/clean water system has been implemented, requiring players to ensure their water is clean before drinking it.

Sons of the Forest made an impressive impact when it entered early access on Steam in February, with over two million sales and still counting. In our Sons of the Forest early access overview, we praised the game’s exploration elements, stating, “The real magic of Sons of the Forest lies not in base-building or 3D-printing a sled for reasons I’ve yet to understand, but in the secrets lurking behind boarded-up caverns and underground bunkers.” We described the experience as “curiously liberating” and “such a delightful surprise”.
