• Sons of the Forest has 190,004 followers at the time of writing.
• A large portion of the hype surrounding this game is due to the success of The Forest.
• Starfield has 183,206 followers.
• Sons of the Forest falls under Manor Lords, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Party Animals when it comes to the number of followers.

The hype for the game was already well-known, but to think that its total number of wishlists would surpass a Bethesda release, now that is something special. Endnight games is not a large studio by any means, and Bethesda is one of the titans of the gaming industry, so Sons of the Forest’s performance here is something that bodes well for the game’s future!

Sons of the Forest’s map should be 4 times larger than the original game.

• The size of the original game’s map was roughly 1 square kilometer.
• Despite the small size of the map, you could still get lost for hours in the expansive cave system.
• The developers have stated that the sequel’s map is going to be much larger, but it will also be more detailed.
• The map is made even more immersive with new AI technology that will provide players with terrifying experiences.

If there is anything that the gaming community is never going to complain about, it is the increased size of the maps of their favorite games. While The Forest’s map was a bit on the smaller side, it was still large enough that it took you about 15 minutes to walk across it, and with the sequel’s map being 4 times larger, the whole experience is going to be much more interesting as a result. The map size estimate is related to just surface area, but we are sure that the cave system is going to be better than ever.
