Game Overview:
Forspoken is an action RPG developed by Luminous Productions and published by Square Enix.
It is set in the magical land of Athia, featuring a superpowered woman named Frey Holland as protagonist.
Five months after its original release, Forspoken now has a DLC—In Tanta We Trust. Does this DLC make it worth revisiting the world of Athia? Find out in our review.
The story-based DLC is out May 26th for PS5 and PC and sees Frey Holland venturing to Athia's past to stop the "Gloaming."
Square Enix has confirmed the DLC will launch in May and will serve as a prequel to the base game's story.
A new patch is coming on March 17th to fix the issue, which occurs in specific scenes or when performing certain actions.
New options like "Lock On to Nearby Enemies" to automatically target the next enemy and "Immunity to Own Magic" are also available.
"Many of the new small and mid-sized titles" released in Q1-Q3 of the current fiscal year also "did not perform as well as we had expected."
Luminous Productions will continue improving Forspoken's performance and working on the story DLC, In Tanta We Trust, until then.
A bug that also caused FSR to change back to Normal settings when restarting the game with specific options enabled has also been fixed.
According to original concept writer Gary Whitta, Forspoken was rebooted mid-development, leading to the writing being "nothing like" what was originally pitched.
