Forspoken was first unveiled way back in June 2020, and when we first got a look at the game – which was previously known as Project Athia – players were instantly divided. Some thought it looked great; like a playable version of the Agni’s Philosophy tech demo we saw developer Luminous Productions put out years ago. Others thought it looked like a cynical cash-in on a famously troubled engine.
The game caught further controversy when Square Enix announced it was getting a pretty significant delay in March this year. The publisher confirmed earlier this year that the title will now launch in October 2022, slipped quite a way past its planned May release date.
“Our vision for this exciting new IP is to deliver a game world and hero that gamers across the globe will want to experience for years to come, so getting it right is extremely important for us,” said the publisher at the time.
