Forspoken is delayed to October

Publisher Square Enix and developer Luminous Productions announced Forspoken is delayed to October 2022.

While Forspoken is delayed to October 11th, it will forgo its previously planned May 2022 release. When the game does launch it’ll be available across Windows PC (via a Steam, the Microsoft Store, and the Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 5.

“Our vision for this exciting new IP is to deliver a game world and hero that garners across the globe will want to experience for years to come, so getting it right is extremely important to us,” the studio said in the update.

They added, “To that end, during the next few months we will focus all of our efforts on polishing the game and can’t wait for you to experience Frey’s journey this fall.”

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home.

Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break  transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses.

Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous  creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.
