How excited we were when Project Athia was first revealed in June 2020 as part of the Sony PlayStation 5 Mega Event. An enchanting new world that not only looks amazing but also seems to come up with many innovative gameplay ideas. Just a few months later, it was clear that Project Athia was actually being called “Forspoken” and would be the next big fantasy RPG from developer Luminous Productions and publisher Square Enix.

At the Game Awards in December 2021, there was a release date set for the first time: Forspoken should appear on May 24, 2022 on both PlayStation 5 and PC. But nothing came of it. A cool new gameplay trailer was shown in Sony’s March 2022 episode of State of Play, but the release was delayed at the same time. Instead of October 11, 2022 was in the room. More time should be invested in polishing in order to offer the gaming experience as optimally as possible right from the start, as was said at the time.

Cyberpunk Flashback: Third Release Date

Anyone who already suspects evil and gets a little bit of Cyberpunk 2077 Flashback is on the right track. Because it was announced today, Wednesday, July 6, 2022, that it will not be possible to keep this date in October of this year as well. Instead, Forspoken is now slated to appear on January 14, 2023. Date #3 – hopefully really the last.

But we can’t be too sure about that. The daily statement said that the additional delay this time is not due to the delay in development. Rather, it is a strategic decision, in which there are “ongoing discussions with important partners”. It is currently not clear how long it will take to complete it and what the outcome might be.

At Square Enix and Luminous Productions, it is currently assumed that open issues will be resolved by January 2023. The game itself is nearing completion and is in the final polishing stage.

Full statement from officials:

“As a result of ongoing discussions with key partners, we have made a strategic decision to extend the launch date of Forsboken to January 24, 2023. All game elements and development are now complete and are in the final stage of fine-tuning.

We would like to thank you for your continued support and patience throughout this journey. Your passion for the game inspires us every day and we can’t wait to share more about Forspoken with you this summer! “

However, in this article we explain why the March trailer for Forspoken matches another postponement:
