As for queries about split-screen and local cooperative with friends, as it stands in early access, neither local co-op, combo co-op (local + online), split-screen or LAN play will be available.

Instead, the early access will only be online co-op as the core feature. However, this is not to say that it isn’t subject to change when the game is finally scheduled for full release around October time.

Is Sons of the Forest a sequel or a prequel?

There has been nothing released to date that suggests that Sons of the Forest will be set before events in The Forest.

There are a few theories flying around that it could run along a similar timeline and feature more of Timmy, the child that went missing after the plane crash in the original game but our money is that the game will arrive and be set as a traditional sequel, set a period of time after the end of The Forest.

According to the fandom site, Virginia is the woman seen in the Sons of The Forest Trailers. Her name is shared with the multiple legged mutant of the first game, and shares the trait of multiple limbs, but is still quite different as well as having her humanity intact.
