Evaluation

Forspoken launched on January 24, 2023 as a complete single-player RPG. Square Enix subsequently released one story expansion — "In Tanta We Trust" — on May 26, 2023, which was the only piece of paid story DLC planned and included in the Digital Deluxe Edition. Both items in the DLC list are fully released with no unreleased entries remaining. Following the DLC's release, the developer continued issuing patches through November 13, 2023, addressing technical issues and graphics compatibility. No additional content was announced after "In Tanta We Trust" shipped, and developer communications went silent after the November 2023 patch. There have been no posts, announcements, roadmaps, or hints of further content since that date. With today's date being June 22, 2026, that represents over two and a half years of silence with no outstanding commitments. The game launched with a clearly defined content scope: a base game and one prequel story DLC. Both have shipped. The developer has not announced any further expansions, updates, or content plans. Forspoken is a complete, self-contained package.

About this game


Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home.

Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break  transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses.

Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous  creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.
