Does Sons of the Forest have character creation? (PCGamesN)

If you want to know if there is Sons of the Forest character creation, we have been wondering the same thing, so here's what we know.

That’s all we know about Sons of the Forest character customisation for now, so we’re going to make like a tree and leaf. Therefore, at the time of writing, it seems as though there isn’t any character customisation in Sons of the Forest. In The Forest, you play as Eric LeBlanc. Since there are no custom characters in The Forest’s single-player mode, and only random pre-made characters assigned to each person in its multiplayer mode, you are probably wondering if [Sons of the Forest](https://www.pcgamesn.com/sons-of-the-forest/) character creation will be coming to the sequel.

It's not something that's seen too often, but given that Sons of the Forest did release during the middle of a workday, perhaps Valve wasn't quite so prepared for how many people would be refreshing the Steam store to get the game as soon as it was available. Sons of the Forest was scheduled to release in the middle of the day on Thursday with Steam's countdown slowly dwindling until the game was supposed to be live. Given the timing of the atypical Thursday release of the game, one can only assume that it was Sons of the Forest that brought Steam down, an achievement the game and Endnight Games can now boast before anyone's really even had a chance to play it.

Co-op horror build 'em up Sons of the Forest is out now in Early Access, and its mutant cannibal world is absolutely terrifying.

Building and crafting are really phenomenal in the game, even in this incredibly early iteration, but felling trees and taking care of the logs afterwards feels like a bit of an art form, and this scratches a part of my lizard brain that wants to improve and optimise, until I’m suddenly trying to master this art form. Buildings often require full logs to be built, but they can also ask for half or quarter logs, and when this happens you can just stand the log up and go at it with your axe again, neatly dividing it before slamming those chunks of wood into the ghostly frame of your building-in-progress. Yes, to chop a tree down you’ll run up to it and start hitting it with an axe, but here as you do so you’ll be able to watch the tree deforming under your blows as it slowly gives way.

Sons of the Forest Outpaces Hogwarts Legacy on Steam (Game Rant)

The early access survival title Sons of the Forest draws in a bigger crowd than Hogwarts Legacy on PC, signaling good things for its future.

Taking that into consideration, it does seem that the Sons of the Forest may end up being one of 2023's most noteworthy releases, especially if the game launches from Steam Early Access in the coming months. Those numbers will of course fluctuate throughout the day and the latter still has a bigger 24-hour peak, but the success that Sons of the Forest is now seeing is nothing short of remarkable, especially considering the fact that the game isn't finished just yet. Sons of the Forest is proving to be quite successful indeed, according to its performance on Steam, where the early access version of the survival title has managed to eke out a player count victory against the blockbuster Hogwarts Legacy.
