Forspoken is a story-driven action adventure RPG. In a third-person perspective, you play our hero Frey Holland, a young New Yorker who is transported to a strange new world, a fantasy dimension called Athia. This world is under the tyrannical rule of of the Tantas, who control the realm with dark powers and monsters. Athia is an open-world that has to be skillfully traversed, as Frey completes quests and encounters enemies to be fought off with magic spells and medieval combat. Every encounter earns experience points that can upgrade her abilities.
Forspoken comes from the stable and skilled hands at Square Enix, and their latest game studio, Luminous Productions, which was built from the people who worked on Final Fantasy XV. Fast-paced action RPG players should have that familiar FF feel, with some parkour sprinkled on top. The studio's Luminous Engine is based on what they used in Final Fantasy XV, with new and improved features, optimized for the latest-generation game consoles; and special ray tracing abilities on Windows with DirectX 12. Forspoken is also the first title to support DirectStorage, which promises faster load times and more beautiful worlds.
