Square Enix has confirmed the release date for its upcoming action-RPG, Forspoken.
In a new trailer shown during The Game Awards 2021, the video confirms a release date of May 24, 2022.
The Final Fantasy publisher has previously said it’s aiming to deliver “the highest quality visuals ever seen in an open world game” with the PS5 exclusive.
Announced in June 2020, Forspoken is the debut game from the Japanese company’s new Luminous Productions studio.
Forspoken is scheduled for release on PC and PS5 in 2022, and it will reportedly be a PlayStation console exclusive for two years.
Billed as “a narrative-driven adventure set in a beautiful yet cruel world,” the game sees players take on the role of Frey Holland, “an ordinary young woman who must harness her magical abilities to survive in the fantastical yet dangerous land of Athia”.
The lead character is portrayed by English actress Ella Balinska, who is known for starring in 2019 film Charlie’s Angels.
