Open-world adventure now expected in October
Square Enix this week announced a four-and-a-bit-month delay forForspoken, the open-world action-adventure game about a New Yorker pulled into a fantasy world. Previously due on the 24th of May, it’s now slated for the 11th of October. Sounds like Squeenix hope to make it the start of a new series, so they’re taking time to help ensure it’s proper good. Fair enough.

Formerly know asProject Athia, Forspoken is an open-world game starring Frey Holland, a New Yorker who’s harmlessly walkin' heah when she’s pulled into a fantasy world full of dragons and wizards who need a kicking. Also she gets some neat-looking movement abilities to zip about. It’s the first game from Square Enix’s Luminous Productions, a studio formed largely of formerFinal Fantasy XVfolks. Seems they want more time to deliver the sort of game you might expect from a team like that.
“Our vision for this exciting new IP is to deliver a game world and hero that gamers across the globe will want to experience for years to come, so getting it right is important to us,” they said inMonday’s announcement. “To that end, during the next few months we will focus all our efforts on polishing the game and can’t wait for you to experience Frey’s journey this fall.”
Better a late game than a bad game.
Forspoken is headed toSteam,Epic, andthe Microsoft Storeon the 11th of October, as well as PlayStation 5. It’ll cost £65/€80/$70 and oh my, it’ll need to be amazing for the general game-buying public to get comfortable with that price.
We’ve called Forspoken one of ourmost anticipated games of 2022. But £65! Goodness me.
