Sq. Enix had already delayed Forspoken to October, and whereas followers are nonetheless questioning what’s in retailer for this Isekai fantasy recreation, it seems like they may have to attend a little bit longer till the discharge.
In a current episode of The XboxEra Podcast (through GamingBolt), insider Nick Baker reveals that Forspoken may very well be delayed relying on the discharge of Remaining Fantasy 16. He says:
“There’s a risk that Sq. could delay Forspoken once more, but it surely’s type of conditional and apparently this situation is whether or not they suppose they’ll get Remaining Fantasy 16 out this 12 months.”

Ought to Remaining Fantasy come out this 12 months, they may push Forspoken again—with a purpose to give it a correct window to shine as a substitute of competing for the highlight of a greater recognized IP.
If something, these are nonetheless simply rumors, and now we have no official announcement from the studio. If Forspoken is able to come out in October, I feel there’s a variety of room till the vacation launch ought to Remaining Fantasy 16 launch round that point.
Then once more, it’s in all probability greatest for builders to be given time to shine a recreation. If Forspoken isn’t prepared by the anticipated launch date, I’m all up for a delay—no matter retains the builders much less exhausted.
Frey is pushed to her restrict within the unusual and merciless land of Athia. She should use her magic-enhanced fight and parkour skills to outlive towards the fearsome, twisted creatures that lurk within the Break.
Since there hasn’t been any official launch, we must always nonetheless anticipate Forspoken to launch someday this October.
