A new trailer for Square Enix's upcoming PlayStation 5 (and later PC) title Forspoken dropped today during the PlayStation Showcase. This trailer gives us an extended look into some more exciting gameplay, as well as giving us a glimpse into the story and Frey Holland's origin. Fed up with her hard life in New York City, the gritty yet street-smart Frey Holland plans to leave with her adorable cat when she suddenly finds herself teleported to the beautiful yet cruel land of Athia.

Throughout her journey, Frey will be able to learn to cast dozens of different types of magic, and traverse a variety of diverse environments where she will use magic enhanced parkour, granting players the ability to flow, zip and float across Athia’s landscapes. Alongside Cuff, other key characters are highlighted, including Auden (played by Monica Barbaro) a kind and open-minded young woman who prioritizes the needs of others

During today’s Square Enix Presents event, the previously announced Project Athia made a surprise appearance toward the end of the stream. Though the trailer itself is brief and does not delve into too much detail, we were at least granted a sneak peek at some gameplay as well as learning the game’s official title: Forspoken. Forspoken follows the story of Frey Holland (Played by Ella Balinska), an ordinary woman who somehow ends up in the fantasy world of Athia, where she must use her magical abilities to survive the dangerous world. “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 is set to release in 2022 on PlayStation 5 and PC.
