Forspoken is one of the big PlayStation 5 console exclusives of 2022. The game is an open-world RPG that features fast traversal of the terrain as a major gameplay component. The new IP is set in the fantasy world of Athia. However, the protagonist, Frey, is not from the land. She is transported to the magical world from New York City. Gamers will play as Frey as she tries to survive the strange land and find her way back home.
Forspoken will now be released on PlayStation 5 and PC on October 11, 2022. The game is set to be a PlayStation 5 console exclusive for at least two years after the release date. While that doesn’t guarantee that the game will make its way to Xbox Series consoles, there is hope that Xbox gamers will one day get to experience the game.
