Hello! Yeah, The Forest King is finally getting that rework. It's a rework of his entire kit, and will be coming in the survivor update. Don’t worry, the remodel is also still coming, however his rework is being done first.

Passive

The Forest King's passive is much different, he now has sliding physics. His stats have also been changed, having 55 stamina and 35 speed as of current.

This is also a reference to ‘the ⤵

Ability 1 - Rooted Barricade

The Forest King is able to summon a wall of branches in whatever direction he's looking, this wall will stay up for a short amount of time before receding back into the ground. Placement can be cancelled by attacking.

Ability 2 - Royal Entanglement

Using this ability will attach roots to any nearby survivors, if they don't escape the ability range in time they'll take 35 damage.

Ability 3 - Lurking Facade

Lurking Facade remains mostly the same, however heads will stay in place and will only chase players who are in their line of sight. Getting hit by a lurking facade will also give you the glitched status effect, instead of trapping you. It's unknown if the glitched status was changed.

That’s all we know about the rework so far, anything is subject to change before release, so please keep that in mind.
