The title was launched at the end of January without much success.
By now many of you will know that Forspoken has been launched without much successthereby giving rise to the fact that the Square Enix title exclusive to PS5 and PC has been beaten despite the great expectation that there was around it, waiting to know if over time (and the corresponding updates) will get it back up again.
Be that as it may, this time we do not receive data about Forspoken as it is, but rather about how could it have beenas it has recently been revealed that the title underwent quite important changes as mentioned by Gary Whitta, the main writer of the initial concept that Forspoken had.
The only thing that remains of the original idea of Forspoken is the name of Athia
This has been possible because Whitta was a guest on the Video Games Writing 101 podcast, in which he has talked about the original concept when writing the story of Forspoken, which he changed excessively without being able to do anything since when they were carried out he was too busy with other projects. Although yes, Whitta affirms that his work with the title was very superficial, noting that five or six years ago Square Enix went to him for world building, mythology and history. For example, it was Whitta who gave the world the name of Athia.
However, it seems that the original plot did not come to fruition, since being very close to closing the script, Square Enix wanted everything to be changed again with a restart, this being the moment in which none of the original writers were available, so this is where his contribution to the game came from. Of course, he has not come to say what was your initial idea.
In any case, it must be said that, despite having an expansion in the works, the future of Forspoken is not very rosy. For the rest, remember that Forspoken is available on PS5 and PC since the end of last January, so if you are interested in this latest version you can see the recommended and minimum requirements.
