On January 24, Forspoken will be released for PS5 and PC. It stars Frey, a young woman from modern-day New York who is transported to Athia, a magical and dangerous land. Square Enix is publishing it, and it appears to be a fresh take on the publisher's usual RPG offerings. As a result, if you want to get one of the preorder bonuses, you should act quickly.
What is the story of Forspoken?
Frey Holland, the protagonist, is an aimless, gritty, yet street-smart young woman who has persisted despite her difficult upbringing in New York City. And her life hasn't gotten any easier now that she's turning 21. Things take an unexpected turn when she is teleported to Athia, a land where fantasies and nightmares become all too real.
She travels through it using magical powers to survive and find her way home. She'll also have to deal with the Tantas, the deleterious and distorted all-powerful matriarchs who rule over Athia, if she wants to return home.
Forspoken Digital Deluxe edition and Price
Forspoken does not have a Collector's Edition, but it does have a Deluxe Edition that costs $94.99 and is available for PS5 and PC. In reality, however, this is only $25 more than the Standard Edition. So, what exactly is included in Forspoken's Deluxe Edition?
The Prequel Story DLC, Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust, is most likely the highlight. This is set to be released in the Summer of 2023 and will most likely cost around $20. In addition to the DLC, you will receive a Digital Mini Artbook, a Digital Mini Soundtrack, and a Rare Resource Kit.
Is there a Pre-Order bonus for Forspoken?
There are some pre-order bonuses available, depending on where you order from and which platform you choose, whether you buy physical, digital, or digital deluxe. You can digitally preorder the game on PC via Steam, Epic Game Store, or Microsoft Store to receive an Elite Cloak, Spectra Combo Necklace, and Overclock Nails.
If you pre-order the physical version of the PlayStation 5 at Best Buy or Game UK, you will receive a Special Edition SteelBook case. If you preorder the physical PS5 version from GameStop, you will receive a Premium Character Card Set, which includes three beautiful cards featuring protagonist Frey, antagonist Tanta Sila, and Cuff, Frey's sentient bracelet. Each of the three comes with its stand.
If you pre-order the Standard Edition for PS5, which is available digitally or as a physical disc, you will only receive the base game. Pre-ordering either version, however, includes the Symbol Combo Necklace, No Limits Cloak, and Trigger Happy Nails.
