The writing team features Gary Whitta (Book of Eli, After Earth, Star Wars: Rogue One) and Amy Hennig (Legacy of Kain, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted trilogy) along with Allison Rymer and Todd Stashwick. Creative Producer Raio Mitsuno explained that to create a game that had universal appeal, they felt that it would be best to team up with a creative team from the West.Īnd the lineup is quite impressive. The Forspoken collaboration is perfectly in line with the current trend of content favouring representation for minorities and women the team had every intention of designing the game with strong female characters and protagonists. It’s somewhat unfamiliar territory for Square Enix, whose games are often westernised but often written from a Japanese perspective. Once beloved by the people, they became oppressors seemingly overnight, and Frey stumbles into their crosshairs to set up an inevitable showdown. The Tantas are former rulers of Athia who happen to be powerful sorceresses as well. Janina Gavankar (True Blood, Star Wars: Battlefront) plays Tanta Sila, while Pollyanna McIntosh (The Walking Dead) plays Tanta Prav. Frey is voiced by Ella Balinska (Charlie’s Angels, Resident Evil), one of several high profile voice actors confirmed for Forspoken. Where she was once helpless, Frey now holds the power to save the world from a menacing blight, accompanied by a talking cuff named, err, Cuff (Jonathan Cake).
It also features a creative team from across the Pacific Ocean and a very atypical leading lady.įrey Holland is a down and out New Yorker who has been mysteriously transported to the magical world of Athia. Forspoken has been the subject of much speculation as the team had worked on Final Fantasy XV. The game is notable for the fact that it is also the first game produced by the newly-formed (in development terms) LUMINOUS PRODUCTIONS studio.
Square Enix’s upcoming triple-A title Forspoken has a release date locked in at last.
