| New Forspoken release date announced |
The first half of 2022 is particularly jam-packed with widely anticipated games, in what is already shaping up to be a massive year for possible releases. With the delays of certain other key franchise chapters, such as Final Fantasy 16, forthcoming new IP releases like Square Enix's Forspoken are being evaluated more closely.
Forspoken was first revealed as Project Athia before the PlayStation 5 was even released, and it features stunning aesthetics and gameplay, but nothing is known about the final product. The game, which was created by Luminous Productions, a division of Square Enix, has a lady named Frey who is transferred from New York to a large parallel universe.
Frey gains superpowers after arriving and gets drawn into a war between the world's inhabitants and 'Tantas', strong beings of this world.
With a novel, fluid traversal system, Forspoken appears to be an open-world action game with RPG components. Fans had been anticipating the release of Forspoken in May, however, now the fans will need to wait a bit more than anticipated as Forspoken's release date has been pushed back by a massive five months, according to Square Enix.

As per the developers, getting Forspoken right and creating an experience that fans would like to revisit for years to come is "very vital." The postponement of Forespoken release date will give the development team more time to ensure that it lives up to its full promise.
For now, we have 2 Forespoken trailers, the first one is a new trailer that was revealed at The Game Awards, announcing Forspoken's release date and the second is Forspoken’s reveal trailer, showcasing the first look at gameplay in the world's distinctive setting.
Square Enix concluded the announcement by stating that further information on Forspoken will be released "soon" and it is possible that the final phrase relates to the PlayStation State of Play March event, as the reports of Forspoken's postponement were backed by allegations that Sony would conduct a PlayStation State of Play event later this month to release more news on the Forspoken game.
