Set to launch as PlayStation 5 and PC exclusive, Forspoken follows Frey Holland, a woman that comes from a rough upbringing in New York City before being transported to another world, Athia. Frey is portrayed by Ella Balinska, with the actress working with Luminous Productions to create the character together.
Originally being revealed in 2020, the team working on the project invited us to attend a hands-off preview last year. There were a lot of elements that left me excited but the game had a lot of polish needed to bring the game up to par with a lot of the titles launching today.
