▍Forspoken Gameplay
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 Asia, 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.
Players will be following Frey to explore the sprawling realms of Athia, a striking land of remarkable vistas and otherworldly creatures brought to life through stunning graphics and cutting-edge technology. Take on twisted monsters in magical combat with a wide range of powerful abilities catering to a variety of playstyles – from fast-paced and exhilarating to strategic and methodical.
