Project Athia is no more and is instead Forspoken
After being revealed during the PlayStation 5 reveal event in 2020, Square Enix have given a look at the formally known Project Athia along with giving it a new name. The game is now called Forspoken and you can check out the announcement trailer below, which features actress Ella Balinska, who also plays the title character Frey.
Frey takes centre stage in Forspoken, exploring an unknown world and facing treacherous trials to unravel the mystery behind Athia.
“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.”
The game is being developed simultaneously for the PS5™ and PC and is set for release in 2022.
