PC and PS5 Exclusive Project Athia named Forspoken, Releases 2022

What was once known as Project Athia as revealed in 2020, the PC and PlayStation 5 exclusive is now officially known as Forspoken.

Developed by Luminous Productions, showcased at last night’s Square Enix digital event, Forspoken a “narrative-driven adventure set in a beautiful yet cruel world” will release for PC and PS5 sometime in 2022.

The lead character, Frey Holland will also be played by actor Ella Balinska, who is perhaps best known for her role in 2017’s Charlie’s Angels.

In Forspoken, you will play the role of Frey Holland who is said to be “an ordinary young woman who must harness her magical abilities to survive in a fantastical and dangerous land called Athia.”

 

“As the first video game I’ve worked on and growing up a huge fan of video games myself, it’s remarkable to see the incredible world and story of Forspoken come together, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy,” said Balinska. “Frey as a character is real, she’s raw, she’s a girl who lost her way—both figuratively and literally—and is a character I immediately connected with, as I feel many people around the world will too when they set off on this adventure.”

Forspoken will be simultaneously developed for PC and PlayStation 5 and will release next year.
