\u2014 The Game Awards (@thegameawards) December 12, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n As holgram chess and futuristic doors fade into the background, it’s only toward the end of the Forst 3 reveal trailer that we see some of that misty horror atmosphere fans have come to love the series for. The monsters in this new world seems to be just as strange, too, with that giant Lovecraftian beast being the most intimidating of the bunch.<\/p>\n It’s unclear how Forest 3 will pick up where Sons of the Forest left off or how its new sci-fi spin will affect gameplay. One thing is for sure, though: Endnight definitely has more tricks up its sleeves.<\/p>\n Endnight began its survival series with The Forest in 2018 and followed it up with Sons of the Forest in 2024. With the studio’s last game still so fresh in our minds, it’s no surprise to see the team keeping their cards close to their chest when it comes to Forest 3. A release date and platforms have not be announced, but we can likely expect to see Forest 3 come to PC.<\/p>\n Forest 3 The Game Awards 2025 Reveal Trailer – Screenshots IGN gave Sons of the Forest a 9\/10 review<\/a> upon its 1.0 launch last year. At the time, we said, “Sons of the Forest takes everything its predecessor did well and does it a little bit better.” It’s unclear if Forest 3 will launch in eary access as its predecessors did.<\/p>\n For more from The Game Awards 2025, you can check out everything announced<\/a> at The Game Awards 2025.
