Earlier, the "Uncle Party" AccountNGT broke the news that according to the source, SE's "Forspoken", which was scheduled to be released in May, was postponed. The news could be officially announced at the PS launch (but not sure). But while it's uncertain when the news of the extension will be released, SE is already preparing for it.
Just this morning, SE announced on Twitter that the release date of Forspoken, which was scheduled to be released on May 24, 2022, will be postponed to October 11. The reason is "to further polish and improve quality" as the goal.
In an official tweet, Luminous Productions said its vision is to create a "game world and heroes that players around the world will want to experience for years to come, so it's extremely important for us to build it right." ”
In addition, with the game's release date changed, the story DLC "FORSPOKEN: In Tanta We Trust", which was originally scheduled to be released in the winter of 2022, will also be delayed, and the new release date will be changed to spring 2023.
FORSPOKEN is a new action RPG produced by Luminous Productions, a global game studio owned by Square Enix, and is registered on PS5 and PC.
The game tells the story of a young man from New York, "Frey", who is teleported to the beautiful and cruel land of "Esia", and in order to find her way home, Frey must use her newly acquired magical abilities to move across the vast expanse of land and fight with terrifying monsters.
I don't know if this delay is related to the poor popularity after the release of "Babylon's Fall" a few days ago, but in recent times, SE's games, including "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Final Fantasy XIV: The End of the Dawning Moon", have encountered various ups and downs when they were released. Perhaps it is time for SE Marketing to rethink its issuance strategy.
