Here, Frey's near-terminal "yeah, that just happened" quippiness felt-to seemingly everyone who watched it-like all the most nauseating writing tropes that come to mind when something is described as "Whedonesque." Not surprising that Square Enix turned Frey's zinger dial back a bit for the next video drop, but it's left some fear about how the game's banter will land on release. Frey is more quiet than you might expect, particularly if you caught the reactions to another, shorter Forspoken trailer released on Twitter (opens in new tab) earlier in August. There's some additional context to note for this gameplay trailer, by the way. Hopefully, the magic toolkit will keep it that standard fare from feeling too boilerplate. It all takes place in what feels like it'll be a pretty standard open-world experience: there are towers to ping nearby discoverable points and activities, chests with resources. It's kind of a halfway point between Spider-Man and Dr. Between fights, Frey can quickly cover the landscape thanks to some magical assistance in the form of wall-running, double-jumping, and pulling herself along with a kind of molten, magical zipline. In some of her shown skirmishes, Frey switches between magic bolts, whips with energy tendrils, and coup-de-grace finishers with a conjured knife. On display is the variety of different combat spells and magic parkour traversal options that Frey can deploy-and it looks to be a substantial one. In the trailer, Frey picks up a sidequest to grab some crafting materials for an artisan in the hub city of Cipal, and then its out into the wilderness to fling fistfuls of magic.

This 10-minute gameplay overview from August gives a pretty full sense of what the standard flow of gameplay will feel like in Forspoken, as Frey explores the open (and almost entirely corrupted) world of Athia. This is the game's second delay, following an announcement earlier this year that its original release window in May 2022 was pushed back into October.Īccording to the latest delay statement, Forspoken's release date was pushed back once more for "strategic reasons." It's unclear what exactly that means, but the released Twitter statement (opens in new tab) described the game's development as nearly finished, saying "all game elements are now complete, and development is in its final polishing phase." If that's the case, this latest release date will probably stick. What is Forspoken's release date?įorspoken will release on January 24, 2023, according to a recent delay announcement. Here's everything we've learned about Forspoken so far, from its magically-displaced protagonist, to her array of combat and parkour sorceries. but now we have the proper title for it, and a release date. Originally known as Project Athia, Forspoken has steadily emerged with more gameplay and story details, picking up a (shifting) release date along the way.
