Sons of the Forest 1.0: Will My Progress Get Wiped?
With the long-awaited release of Sons of the Forest 1.0, many players are left wondering: did my progress get wiped? As you gaze at the eerie multi-legged mutant on the title screen, it's natural to worry about the fate of your hard-earned progress. But fear not; we've got the lowdown on what you can expect.
What Happens to My Progress in Sons of the Forest 1.0?
After kickstarting its early access journey in early 2023, Sons of the Forest has finally reached its 1.0 milestone. If you've been playing since day one, you've likely explored every nook and cranny, built a solid base, and made significant progress. Thankfully, your saves will be left intact when you download the 1.0 version.
Endnight Games highly recommends starting a brand new save to experience the full game from scratch, complete with new cutscenes, blueprints, animals, NPCs, and even an alternate ending.While it's not necessary to start anew, you might miss out on some crucial moments and interactions if you choose to continue with your old save. Timmy, for instance, now has a voice, courtesy of Shawn Ashmore. So, while your progress is safe, you might want to consider starting a fresh save to get the most out of the updated game.
