‘The Forest’ to Exit Early Access, Release in April
We mentioned Endnight Games’ The Forest in our list of games to look forward to this year, and while that 2018 release date hasn’t been clarified yet, the team recently announced that the game is headed out of Early Access on Steam, with a tentative release date “towards the end of April”. This also signals that the PlayStation 4 release won’t be far behind.
In that same post, the team elaborated on the progress and details of the game, saying that with the current release of 0.73, the game is still $14.99 USD. Once 1.0 hits, that price will jump to $19.99. Also, the team are implementing improvements such as more language and controller support, as well as tweaking certain game mechanics like the cold and warmth system. New buildables will be added, as well as improvements to multiplayer.
The team will also have “some really crazy and fun surprises in store” for players, especially in regards to the game’s ending. Of course, the post leaves it at that to generate buzz, but come on. Any game that has you surviving cannibals in the forest by building your own base has to grab your attention.
As a result of the push to get the game ready for April, they’ll be ending the smaller patch releases in order to focus on Release Candidates. To read up on the full list of fixes/changes, you can head here to the game’s official site.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
