She finds a strange cuff in a pawn shop and is magically transported to the realm of Athia, an alternate dimension that is gradually being decimated by a twisted force called the Break. Can't go home againįorspoken tells the story of an everyday woman living in the streets of New York, struggling with her day-to-day existence. There's a foundation for something good here, but it sadly doesn't realize that potential. It's a shame, because Forspoken's terrible story and its unlikable main character largely bog down what's otherwise a competent action RPG. The result is a story that isn't anything close to Mark Twain. That's why the idea of Forspoken interested me so much, because the premise was to take a modern person from the real world and thrust them into a Square Enix-style magical kingdom, sort of like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

It's the house that built Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and curates many other magic-based realms. The fine print on the trailer says that Forspoken will be a PS5 exclusive until at least January 25, 2025, so the game will likely take at least two years to release on other platforms.Square Enix has put out a lot of games over the years, but it's safe to say that the publisher has become the first that many think of when it comes to magical worlds. The trailer concludes with Frey fighting a strange, root-like enemy underneath the water.įorspoken releases on PlayStation 5 on January 24, 2023. Another apparent boss battle takes place in a contemporary city environment. One wears a circular mask made of triangle shards, and seems to wield fire magic, and the other has an antler-like head decoration, and casts wind spells. Two of the more prominent hunters are also shown. Combat footage follows, with Frey shooting beams of lightning, blocking attacks with massive light-woven shields, and exploding roots from the ground to fight the aforementioned hunters, as well as other enemies like a massive skeletal brute. With Frey's arrival, the voice claims, the people have hope again. It opens with images of a powerful looking noble and guards (called hunters) spreading panic and haranguing citizens with their magic. In a trailer, a threatening voice alludes to the impact that Forspoken protagonist Frey has had on the world.
