Forspoken
Forspoken is the final name of the title teased a while back and we have a little more to look at to come with this Forspoken name
It looks like Project Athia is no more but only because it is now known as Forspoken. The next thing in the big showcase yesterday is here from Luminous Productions to give us just a little more for this PS5 and PC title that is slated to launch in 2022. Something that is a little more than the fact that the game is going to be called Forspoken and a glimpse of the magical world out there that Frey is going to go through. All brought to life by Ella Balinska in the game as well as this latest video we have to experience for it all.
That does round out most of what we have for the updates to Forspoken here today, but I will add that the trailer here does give us a little more gameplay to experience out there. Maybe about 20 seconds worth of footage to look at mixed in. It does give us a feel for how this title will go with a mix of the modern and fantasy blending together. I am a bit curious about how Frey will be doing what happens a little later in the video with the air-skipping. I guess we will just have to wait until Forspoken finally drops for us to know all the ins and outs of the features here.
Forspoken — Title Announcement
During the Square Enix Presents digital-showcase event, Square Enix announced Forspoken, the debut title from its newly established studio, Luminous Productions. Originally revealed as Project Athia last year, Forspoken puts players in the shoes of Frey Holland, an ordinary young woman who must harness her magical abilities to survive in a fantastical and dangerous land called Athia.
As a part of today’s show, the team announced that the game’s protagonist, Frey, will be performed by Ella Balinska, best known for her starring role in the 2019 film, Charlie’s Angels.
Frey takes center stage in Forspoken, exploring an unknown world and facing treacherous trials to unravel the mystery behind Athia. Square Enix also teased new Forspoken gameplay to give players a glimpse at the magical and perilous journey ahead.
Designed for the PlayStation 5 console, Forspoken will harness the full power of the console and demonstrate Luminous Productions’ philosophy to provide a gaming experience like never before, fusing together the latest technology with creativity. The game is being developed simultaneously for the PS5 and PC and is set for release in 2022.
What do you think it means to get the name of Forspoken here and how will that play into the larger things of it all? Given that the game's world is still Athia here, is it weird to not see that still incorporated in the title of it all? How do you think these two elements will be blended together and will it be in a different way than we have seen in these kinds of games before? Let everyone out there know what you are thinking and then feel free to discuss it all below. We will share everything that we have for Forspoken as we get it, so be sure to keep a close eye on the site for all of that and more.
