Малкият екип зад The Forest пусна поредния ъпдейт за играта, която все още е в алфа версия, но въпреки това може да бъде играна в Steam като се радва на голям интерес от страна на геймъри. Версия 0.08 беше пусната по план на 8 октомври и за съжаление Co-Op режим в този ъпдейт не е наличен. Въпреки това има куп интересни работи, авторите са работили върху стелт системата, като вече е възможно да се крием в храсталаци, зад дървета и камъни, защото канибалите по-упорито ще ни търсят. Разстоянието, на което канибалите виждат е намалено и вече е по-трудно да ни намират нощем, особено ако не сме запалили огън. Във версия 0.08 можем да видим и първите стъпки в новата система за ъпгрейд на оръжията, която добавя възможността за използване на зъби, пера, дрехи заедно с дадено оръжие. Налични са и нови постройки.
