![]() ![]() From ancient fantasy ruins to the city (or cities?) and the expansive wildlands, how do you expect to reach it all without a vehicle or fast-travel? Well to answer that, Forspoken has its own way of incorporating fast-travel without missing out on any of the beauty and immersiveness.įrey gets around by foot (which isn’t as slow as you might think) or by means of what is being deemed “magical parkour”. I think that one of the first things that we can say about Forspoken is that the graphics are immaculate, the world of Athia looks gorgeous, to say the least, and to make the most of this beautiful environment Square Enix graced us with creating this as an open-world experience. ![]() Does this council hold the same imposing mannerism as Sila or is Sila that one who turned rogue and took their cruel ways to the next level? Forspoken – Story Introduction Trailer | PS5 Tanta Sila is clearly stated to be the most daunting and menacing of them all, which begs the question, how many are there, and will you be encountering them throughout the game? (the answer is almost certainly yes). The Tanta’s are said to be destructive and cruel, the all-powerful matriarchs that hold dominion over Athia. The Tanta’s seem to be the protagonists of the game, or at least Sila most certainly is. Did she feel that she had a lot more going for herself and was only waiting for her time to shine once she could turn her life of struggle around? Or could she feel deep within that there was something more, something bigger was it mere coincidence that she was to be the heroine of the otherworldly Athia?Īs Frey navigates across the foreign lands, it becomes apparent that it’s up to her to face off with Sila, the “strongest and most formidable of all the Tanta’s” and that’s exactly what she plans on doing if she is to save her new home. Holland was not wrong when she told Homer that she’s a “big deal”. Could we go based on what we hear from the trailer and say that she gets summoned by the Cuff? The voice that calls out to her as she gets pulled in sounds uncannily like her Cuff. Holland longs for freedom, sunny days, and clean air and with that, comes about a mysterious incident that leads to her being teleported into another realm through a portal that holds the words “Holland Tunnel” within. It seems that all she has is her cat, Homer, who she confides in, letting him in on the secret that she’s a big deal and she is determined to get them out of this heck-hole (I’m using this term because, well, professionalism). The game is planned for release in 2022 for PC and PS5.Forspoken is a third-person, action-adventure RPG that takes you on an isekai journey following Frey Holland (played by actress Ella Balinska) who gets ripped away from all she knows in New York City and thrown into the mystical land of Athia.įrey is a city girl who clearly has it tough out in The Big Apple, as is shown in the trailer where she is seen getting beaten by one of those self-proclaimed “cool” groups. ![]() The score is composed by BAFTA award-winning composers Bear McCreary (God of War (2018) and TV series The Walking Dead) and Garry Schyman (Bioshock series). Taking the reins as Lead Writers on Forspoken’s story and script, Allison Rymer (Shadowhunters) and Todd Stashwick (Devil Inside) have created the final story. ![]() Square Enix and Luminous Productions worked in collaboration with Hollywood writer Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), who conceived the original concept, and writer/director Amy Hennig (Uncharted series), who developed the story concept in 2019 (prior to heading Skydance New Media). Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman) and Monica Barbaro (Top Gun: Maverick) also make an appearance as Johedy and Auden, fellow Athians who befriend and assist Frey with her journey. Other key characters include Frey’s companion ‘Cuff,’ a magical sentient bracelet, voiced by actor Jonathan Cake (Stargirl) Tanta Sila, a maddened and evil ruler who is the strongest matriarch in Athia, voiced by actress and musician Janina Gavankar (True Blood). Frey’s quest in Athia will take her through a variety of diverse environments where she will use magic enhanced parkour. Through the course of her journey, Frey will learn to cast and harness dozens of different types of magic and cast powerful spells as she traverses through the beautiful yet cruel land of Athia.
