From Sony PlayStation Showcase unveiled a new trailer for Forspoken which took a closer look at the history of Luminous Productions ’first action-adventure game.
In Forspoken, actor Ella Balinska of Charlie’s Angels fame plays the protagonist Frey, a nefarious 21-year-old from New York. From the very first moments of the trailer, Frey seems to have a tough life, but he’s only about to get tougher as he teleports from the streets of the Dutch tunnel to the fantastic world of Athia.
The beasts waiting for Frey in Athia are less like flying monkeys The Wizard of Oz and more like what one might expect to find there The Wizard 3. Luckily for Frey, he has some magical powers at his disposal, as well as the help of Cuff, a sensitive magic bracelet. Cuff seems to serve as his guide, giving rise to the magical world in which Frey finds himself, as well as a means to harness his magical powers.
Forspoken will also feature Janina Gavankar, who played Iden Versio in Star Wars Battlefront II, how So much Silaha, an Athian dictator who seems to be the main antagonistic / nasty character in the boss.
The new trailer gives a much better idea of how the game will look and play than the original revealing video he made last June, when the game was known as Athia Project. An exclusive PlayStation 5 console (will also come to PC) Forspoken it looks like it will show how much PlayStation 5 can do. The new material showed Frey crossing rooftops, fighting countless monsters and using his newly found elemental powers, all at breakneck speed.
G / O Media may receive a commission
Forspoken comes from many of the same developers who worked Final Fantasy XV, and I like that it seems to try to be exclusively its own. As more details emerge, we’ll get a better idea of how it compares to some of the other high-end action-adventure games aimed at the new and fantastic hardware (ish).
Forspoken will arrive on PlayStation 5 and PC in the spring of 2022.
