Today sees the launch of Square Enix’ spellbound epic forespokenwhich is available to purchase now on PS5 and PC platforms — In addition, a new blog post by developer Luminous Productions has announced that a PC demo will launch later today on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.
The forespoken The demo will give PC users the opportunity to check it out forespoken‘s effects-laden magic adventure for themselves, allowing those on the fence from a technical standpoint to see whether their rig matches up to the game’s meaty visual scale. Having played the title on PS5, I initially struggled to see why the PC specifications seemed so lofty. Upon reaching several of the game’s boss encounters, (particularly the impressive “Tanta” battles), it became clear that Forspoken would be pretty greedy on the ol’ SFX.
forespoken follows the story of Frey Holland, a troubled street kid who finds herself plucked from the streets of Hell’s Kitchen and deposited in Athens, a fantasy world under siege from a smothering corruption known as “The Break”. Bound with a sentient vanbrace dubbed “Cuff”. This original odd cuff ventures through Athia’s huge open world, hoping to challenge its founders, restore the land, and get our girl back home to her beloved moggie, Homer.
