The <strong>exclusive production on PlayStation 5 consoles<\/strong> (it also comes out on PC) comes with quite a stir. But why has this happened with the Square Enix video game? Let&#8217;s go in parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Announced at the end of 2020 as <strong>Project Athia<\/strong>, the one that would later be called Forspoken was shown with an impressive trailer where the <strong>Luminous Engine<\/strong> did real wonders: particles flying across the stage, frenetic control and incredible lighting created a perfect cocktail for the game. However, after this first trailer, the news of the title was diluted like sugar in coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Project Athia \u2013 Teaser Trailer | PS5\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/doe3kUqHIcM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The months went by and we had no news, and when we received them they were the worst possible: <strong>Forspoken was late<\/strong>. In fact, this has happened twice already, with a first official date of May 24, 2022, then October 11, 2022 (first delay), and now finally January 24, 2023 (second delay).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what has hurt the game the most has been, precisely, something that is always in demand: <strong>its playable demo<\/strong>. It is well known that demos are the devil&#8217;s work, which is why many studios have stopped releasing them. After all, you may buy a title thanks to playing this one, but the opposite can also happen, that is, you may not even want to play the game. <strong>And this is what is happening to Forspoken<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the launch of the demo, <strong>the vast majority of feedback that was seen on social networks was bad<\/strong>. Complaints ranged from the erratic control of Frey (the protagonist) to the empty world that she roamed, as well as a combat system that did not quite work. Square Enix was so aware of this that they even released a patch for the demo. If it is already rare to see a demo these days, <strong>publishing a patch for this one is even more so<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all this behind it, Forspoken has gone from being one of the most anticipated titles of 2023 to being in a doubtful position, and it has all been largely because of that published demo. In addition, to this is added a detail that always stinks: the specialized press complained that the analysis codes <strong>had not arrived this past Friday<\/strong>. And yes, the game comes out in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It looks like VGC sadly won&#39;t be publishing a Forspoken review on Monday, since Square Enix has decided not to supply us with code.
