A new view of Athia
Forspokenwas one of the first big games of 2023, and received a fairly lukewarm reception. Inour own look at the game, it seems likeForspokenplays it safe in many areas, but does have some neat visuals and cool concept for its combat.
Still, that’s not always enough to save a game from the fallout. Square Enix announced that Luminous Productions, after launchingForspoken, isbeing absorbed into Square Enix. The publisher alsocharacterized salesofForspokenas “lackluster,” and review of it were “challenging.”
Meanwhile, Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda confirmedhe’s stepping down in June, with current company director Takashi Kiryu stepping up pending shareholder approval. It’s a season of change for Square Enix, as some games miss marks and leadership shifts around, following a year where the companysold off some big studios.
TheForspokenstory DLC In Tanta We Trust will drop for PS5 and PC on May 26.
