Exploration is improved in Sons of the Forest 1.0. Raccoons make their way to the game as a way of breathing new life into its lush locales. Additionally, you can stumble on new points of interest to explore and NPCs to talk to while traversing through the world. You’ll also encounter some new mutant enemies along the way, so make sure you stay vigilant!
On top of all of the new story and exploration additions, 1.0 also brings some new equipment to improve gameplay.
