Endnight Games returned to The Game Awards stage with a surprise reveal: The Forest 3 is officially happening. The announcement arrived via a short but striking teaser trailer, confirming that the cult survival-horror series is set to continue after the success of The Forest and Sons of the Forest.
The teaser didn’t dive into full gameplay details, but it immediately set the tone. A futuristic cockpit, holographic interfaces, and the chilling phrase “3847 AU to Earth” hinted at a dramatic shift in scale and setting. While the franchise has always focused on isolation, survival, and psychological tension, this reveal suggests The Forest 3 may push those themes into unfamiliar territory.
Endnight Games has so far remained tight-lipped about story specifics, platforms, and a release window. However, the visual language of the teaser alone was enough to ignite speculation across the community. Fans are already debating whether the series is moving toward a more sci-fi-oriented survival experience or simply expanding its narrative scope beyond the island setting players know so well.
What’s clear is that The Forest name still carries weight. Both previous entries built strong word-of-mouth momentum through emergent gameplay, co-op survival mechanics, and unsettling environmental storytelling. The Forest 3 now has the challenge and opportunity of evolving that formula without losing the raw tension that defined the series.
More details are expected to surface in the coming months as development progresses. So, stay tuned to VGNW for updates, analysis, and everything revealed during The Game Awards. Follow us on X for instant news drops.
