▍About Forspoken
Previously named Project Athia, Forspoken is a PS5 and PC title created by Luminous Productions. The game follows a young New Yorker named Frey Holland, who was mysteriously transported to the land of Athia, a magical landscape filled with beasts and monsters. Frey finds a mysterious bracelet wrapped around her arm giving her access to control of the elements, and the ability to cast powerful spells and magic.
Frey learns that the land was once populated by beautiful wildlife and humans until a devastating curse called The Break turned animals and men into monsters. Unaffected by the Break, Frey agrees to help the last citizens of Athia take back the world, and uncover the secret behind the Break.
