Players will be able to use magic to directly attack enemies or set traps for them as well as perform “magic parkour”, covering huge distances over Athia, with Terada saying it “captures what makes our style of development at Luminous Productions so special.“Ĭontrols aren’t going to be especially complicated by the sounds of it, as Terada also said that they want as many people as possible to enjoy the game. Magic is also a key part of gameplay in terms of combat and traversal. Trailers for Forspoken (and its showcase (opens in new tab) at Tokyo Game Show) have shown us that the game’s protagonist Frey will be able to use magic, and the game’s co-director Takefumi Terada said Frey’s learning to use “a wide variety of spells” will be a big part of the story. Forspoken: gameplayĭetails on Forspoken's gameplay are still thin, but there have been some details we've been able to glean from the trailers we've seen so far and from what Square Enix has confirmed. The other is Tanta Prav, the 'Tanta of Justice' who is 'a callous executioner with a warped sense of justice, trusting only in her own judgment.” Each of the Tantas has been designed “with a specific virtue in mind” and Frey will have to face off against them in the course of her journey.

Described as one who “lives for the battlefield” and has “immense physical strength”, she is in charge of Athia’s defense. Frey and Cuff are described as “two peas in a pod”, both saying “whatever they think.”Īs a result, they’re “constantly bickering” and will make small talk during Frey’s journey. As far as Athia itself is concerned, it was a continent once at peace but now teeters on the brink of destruction, ruled by figures known as the Tantas who were beloved but have become oppressors. Cuff is another character in the game and while Mitsuno said it’ll be a while before we learn more about them, Cuff will be important to the game and the story, guiding Frey through her journey. We also got a look at a talking bracelet in the trailer and it turns out it’s called Cuff.

So it looks like Forspoken is a timed PS5 console exclusive, though don't expect it to land on Xbox Series X/S until at least January 2024. A 'new and upcoming games' trailer (opens in new tab) posted by the PlayStation YouTube account in December 2020, showing footage from a collection of PS5 games, shows a tagline under footage of Forspoken (or as it was known at the time, 'Project Athia') stating that it is 'not available on other consoles until at least 24 months after release date'. Having confirmed it'd arrive on October 11, this was then delayed again in July as announced via a Twitter post, pushing it back into next year.Īlthough the game is launching as a PS5 console exclusive, that doesn't mean we won't see Forspoken land on Xbox at a later date. The game was originally scheduled to launch in May 2022, but was delayed by five months so its devs could have sufficient time to polish the RPG.
