As a result of ongoing discussions with key partners, we have made the strategic decision to move the launch date of Forspoken to January 24, 2023. All game elements are now complete, and development is in its final polishing phase.
We would like to thank you for your continued support and patience on this journey. Your excitement for the game inspires us every day and we cannot wait to share more about Forspoken with you later this Summer!
This is a bit of an odd delay to make, given we’re a few months away from its original release and the title is in its final stages of development. But then again, a good game is better than one rushed out the door, right?
Here are some of Forspoken’s key features:
The Odyssey of a Reluctant Hero
Lead Frey on an unforgettable journey in her search for a way home after being mysteriously transported to a breathtaking, fantastical land. Unravel the mysteries of Athia as Frey travels through the calamitous Break and discovers how to wield an immense power.
