During their live presentation today, Square Enix announced their new action game, Forspoken. Formerly known as PROJECT ATHIA, Forspoken is the debut title from the newly established studio, Luminous Productions.
Forspoken has players take on the role of Frey Holland, a young woman whose only chance of survival in the dangerous world of Athia is to take control of her magical abilities. Frey will be played by Ella Balinska, who commented on the game’s announcement:
“As the first video game I’ve worked on, and growing up a huge fan of video games myself, it’s remarkable to see the incredible world and story of Forspoken come together, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Frey as a character is real, she’s raw, she’s a girl who lost her way—both figuratively and literally—and is a character I immediately connected with, as I feel many people around the world will too when they set off on this adventure.”
Forspoken is set to release in 2022 for the PS5 and PC. For more information, check out the title reveal trailer above.
