Sons of the Forest roared out of the gates when it launched in Steam Early Access in February, and 2m+ copies sold later, developer Endnight Games is continuing to improve the experience, this time adding ducks, a lake For, a double log buff for fan-favorite fellow Calvin, and a sad ending for a levitating life jacket.
