![]() While the trailers speed through several different combat scenarios, it’s hard to find a similar type of ability repeated. When watching Forspoken in action, we can’t help but acknowledge the sheer amount of magical abilities and traversal techniques that Frey utilizes. Although they are stunning sights to see, one cannot help but wonder (and worry) if the environments are actually as empty as they look. Sometimes we also see Frey jumping across ancient, seemingly abandoned towns. The terrain is mountainous, with wide expanses of rocky, brown topography and forests with tall, green trees. One spanning shot unveiled grasslands with large rib cage-like structures protruding from the ground. ![]() There are large, golden-topped castles with ferns growing down the side, but most of the environments are wide open swaths of nature. Wearing a long, red dress and a metal casing on her head, she does not hesitate to brutally attack our protagonist.Īs for the locale, what we’ve seen so far looks to be barren yet beautiful. In an eerily lit chamber, we saw one of these Tantas seated on a large throne. The vast land is under the rule of evil matriarchs called Tantos who stand in Frey’s way of going home. Athia is “a land where fantasies and nightmares are suddenly very real,” according to Forspoken’s Creative Producer Raio Mitsuno. The magical setting we’ve been talking so much about is not of this earth. Overall, though, we believe it will be fun to experience a new, magical world alongside Frey. Several times, especially with the overuse of the word “freaking,” the dialogue shown thus far seemed campy and cheesy. Whenever she makes a discovery or acquires new powers, she’ll often express excitement and curiosity. After her spiraling purple ride to a new world, Frey learns about this exciting new venture along with the player. Her wish comes true, but not exactly as she had hoped. ![]() ![]() Back to the trailer, the scene quickly transitions to Frey talking to her cat about leaving the city and going somewhere there will be “no more fights, clean air, and bright skies.” It’s not too farfetched to suggest that Frey’s experiences have helped her become a more determined individual, which will be a valuable quality moving forward. One of these bullies punched Frey in the stomach, causing her to bend over in pain. In the trailer, we saw her surrounded by a group of women in a dark alleyway. At least, that’s the formula most Isekai’s live by.įrey Holland, played by Ella Balinska, is a 21-year-old woman who grew up on the streets of New York City – a locale that, apparently, serves as a source of hardship for the young woman. Despite the hardships of adjusting to a new world, the protagonist will develop a specific trait that either helps them thrive or makes them the ultimate savior. In Forspoken’s case, the protagonist is dragged through a purple portal only to emerge in an unknown world, dazed and confused. Stories that fall into the Isekai genre revolve around a protagonist who is suddenly transported into a new, mysterious world. On the narrative side of things, Forspoken is dipping its toes into a traditional Japanese genre called Isekai. We can infer, based on the trailers, that players will be exploring a mostly unpopulated open world and fighting magical creatures along the way. ![]() From a gameplay perspective, Forspoken has been described as an action role-playing game, but outside of that, the specifics of gameplay are still a mystery. Forspoken’s genre can be categorized through its style of gameplay and its narrative format. ![]()
