The trailer showcased impressive visuals and imaginative gameplay scenarios but it also raised many questions, and the hype leading up to release has remained somewhat tepid. In that sense, Forspoken melds Japanese design with Western sensibilities to create a unique fusion.ĭeveloped by Luminous Productions - including many of the same people that worked on Final Fantasy 15 - Forspoken is only the second game in 10 years to be powered by Luminous Engine. Powered by Luminous Engine and inspired by the world of Agni's Philosophy, Forspoken channels a different era of Square-Enix, when new concepts flowed freely, bound not by the Finality of its most popular Fantasy series. Now, more than ten years later, this convergence of technology and world building come together in a shipping game: Forspoken.
A second demo, known as Witch Chapter 0, was created and shown three years later, focusing on the same lead character while expanding its technology. The demo was called Agni's Philosophy and it was our first taste of the Luminous Engine which would go on to power the gorgeous Final Fantasy 15. The fine print on the trailer says that Forspoken will be a PS5 exclusive until at least January 25, 2025, so the game will likely take at least two years to release on other platforms.In 2012, Square-Enix unveiled a tech demo designed to showcase what the then next-generation of consoles might be able to deliver from a visual perspective. The trailer concludes with Frey fighting a strange, root-like enemy underneath the water.įorspoken releases on PlayStation 5 on January 24, 2023. Another apparent boss battle takes place in a contemporary city environment. One wears a circular mask made of triangle shards, and seems to wield fire magic, and the other has an antler-like head decoration, and casts wind spells. Two of the more prominent hunters are also shown. Combat footage follows, with Frey shooting beams of lightning, blocking attacks with massive light-woven shields, and exploding roots from the ground to fight the aforementioned hunters, as well as other enemies like a massive skeletal brute. With Frey's arrival, the voice claims, the people have hope again. It opens with images of a powerful looking noble and guards (called hunters) spreading panic and haranguing citizens with their magic. In a trailer, a threatening voice alludes to the impact that Forspoken protagonist Frey has had on the world. Now Playing: Forspoken Demo Trailer | The Game Awards 2022
