Spoken too soon

Squeenix announced Forspoken’s latest delay onTwitter, saying that “all game elements are now complete”, and that “development is in its final polishing phase”. We can expect to hear a bit more about the game “this summer”. Yeah, fair enough.

Forspoken was previously calledProject Athiaand it’s basically an isekai, a Japanese genre of portal fantasy where a regular person gets sucked into a bizare new realm. In this case, the regular person is Frey and the fantasy world is Athia, a land that looks so similar to Eos fromFinal Fantasy XV, I’d be surprised if the boys and their Regalia don’t feature as a method of fast travel.

Similarities to Final Fantasy XV are only natural, really, considering that it’s the first game from Squeenix’s Luminous Productions, a team formed of many who worked on FFXV previously.

Forspoken is coming toSteam,Epic, and theMicrosoft Storeon the 24th of January, as well as PlayStation 5.
