I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked what’s going on with the PS4 release of developer Endnight Game’s fantastic open-world survival horror game The Forest. In an effort to get you some answers, I reached out to the studio in search of answers.
I don’t have much to tell you, but this is what I learned.
When the PS4 version was announced earlier this year, the plan was to get the port out by the end of 2015. That’s no longer happening, but The Forest is still headed to Sony’s platform, we’re just going to have to muster up a little extra patience now that Endnight is targeting a release in 2016.
When The Forest finally does make it to the PS4, it will have benefitted from about two years of additional polish, thanks to the Steam version. In addition to that, PS4 owners will also get to “show off the bases they have built, the places they’ve encountered or just how many trees they’ve cut down,” as well as enjoy exclusive features that will make use of the PS4 controller’s speaker.
The less patient among us can grab the game right now on Steam for $14.99.
