Square Enix’s next action RPG has been pushed back.
Forspoken, the upcoming action RPG from Square Enix-owned developer Luminous Productions, has been delayed. The PS5 console exclusive was originally scheduled to launch on May 24, but will now be released on October 11 later this year. Luminous announced the delay in a tweet and said it would use the extra development time to polish Forspoken to a level that meets players’ expectations. “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 to us,” the announcement tweet reads. “To that end, during the next few months we will focus all of our efforts on polishing the game and can’t wait for you to experience Frey’s journey this fall.” Forspoken was first revealed in 2020 as Project Athia. Billed as a narratively-driven open-world game that focuses on fluid traversal across fractured terrain, it follows the journey of Frey Holland, who is magically transported from her home in New York City to the fantasy world of Athia.
