According to some journalists and YouTubers, Square-Enix did not send them Forspoken early so it's safe to say that very few reviews will be available when the embargo lifts on Monday. It is obviously never a good sign when it happens, but let's hope we are proven wrong. If you've been waiting for the game's release, we just advise you to be a bit more patient until a few articles come out and you can find out what it's worth.

Forspoken is preparing its release next week and Square-Enix wanted to reassure PC players by posting a new trailer of the game showcasing the special features of their version of the game: no DLSS but AMD Fidelity FX support for all, much faster loading times with Samsung SSD support, possibility to play with a gamepad or with the mouse and keyboard (a true revolution), graphical customization (what a surprise) and super widescreen support up to 32:9. Nothing to write home about really but it might be the only way to play the game smoothly provided optimization is good enough and you have the proper rig to handle the game. On PS5, the demo build was far from perfect in terms of framerate and there's a chance it won't be fixed for the final release, but we surely hope it will.

The Forspoken demo has left us a bit wary so we hope the full game will manage to convince us more. It shouldn't be too long before we find out, but until then, Square-Enix released a cinematic trailer of the game.

A demo of Forspoken on PlayStation 5 is available following the Games Awards 2022, so we took the opportunity to capture some gameplay in 4K, and it's the Ray Tracing mode that you can see in this video.

Forspoken is far from being fully convincing from a technical standpoint, at least based on what we've been shown so far. Square-Enix released a new video of the game focusing on its world and content so here it is in its YouTube version.

Square-Enix released a 10-minute video of Forspoken showcasing some cutscenes and gameplay sequences. Unfortunately, for now the only version we could find if that of YouTube, but at least it's 4K... As for the game, it's pretty hard to be sure if it will meet its full potential. It seems to have some neat special effects, but the world looks very empty for now, so let's hope the dev team will maximize their work in the next six months so that this new franchise becomes Playstation 5's new killer IP.

The intriguing Forspoken by Square-Enix announced its release date on Playstation 5 so we now know that this new ip will be available on May 24 2022. PC players will have to wait a bit more, but those who will have to show even more patient are Xbox players, who most certainly won't be able to play the game for another two years.

SQUARE ENIX today unveiled a new story trailer and official Spring 2022 release window for Luminous Productions’ debut title, Forspoken. The new footage reveals more details about the protagonist Frey, a directionless, gritty yet street smart young woman who has persevered despite her rough upbringing in New York City.

During 45 minutes, Square Enix presented us a lot of things and we were able to discover several game trailers like Outriders, Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy, Marvel's Avengers, Balan Wonderworld, Life is Strange: True Colors or Forspoken (formerly Project Athia).

The Sony event didn't disappoint and there's a lot to be excited about, though it's likely the console design itself won't appeal to everyone. Until we (maybe) get our hands on high quality versions of the trailers of all PS5 exclusives, here's a good number of them directly coming from YouTube.
Update: We've added some pretty nice 4K galleries.
