Forspoken Game’s Trailer Previews Magic Parkour
PS5, PC game launches on January 24
The official YouTube channel for PlayStation began streaming a new Japanese trailer for Square Enix‘s Forspoken game on Thursday. The trailer previews Frey’s Magic Parkour abilities:
The Magic Parkour abilities include Flow, Rush, Shimmy, Scale, Soar, Zip, Float, and Glide.
The PlayStation 5 and PC game will launch on January 24, 2023. The game was originally scheduled to launch on May 24, but Square Enix had delayed the game to October 11 to polish it, and then delayed it again to the current January 24 release date “as a result of ongoing discussions with key partners.”
The game’s console exclusivity period ends two years after the game’s release.
Sony describes the story:
Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the beautiful and cruel land of Athia with a magical, sentient bracelet wrapped around her arm. Her new, cynical companion “Cuff” helps Frey navigate through the sprawling landscapes of Athia.
In search of a way home, Frey will battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.
Ella Balinska will play the main character Frey Holland. The game centers on Frey as she uses magical powers to survive.
Square Enix describes Forspoken as a story-led, action/adventure game. Square Enix subsidiary studio Luminous Productions is developing the game, and it is designing the game specifically for the PS5.
Sony first announced the game as Project Athia in June 2020.
Square Enix established the Luminous Productions studio, headed by Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata, in 2018. Tabata resigned from both Square Enix and Luminous Productions in October 2018.

Azuki announced on Tuesday that it will digitally publish NAZ and Masato Fujisaki‘s Gloomy Bear: Apocalyptic Love manga based on Mori Chack’s Gloomy Bear character in English on April 4. The one-shot manga will be available on Azuki‘s website as well as on its iOS and Android applications.
Azuki describes the manga’s story:
A young man and woman have kept keychains as mementos of each other, even after they drifted apart. But one day, when they find themselves under attack by zombies, the keychains come to life to protect them! Can Gloomy Bear and All-Purpose Bunny defeat the zombies and bring the two back together?
Mori Chack created the Gloomy Bear character in 2000. The illustrator also created characters such as Podolly and Kumakikai.
The Itazura Guma no Gloomy (Gloomy the Naughty Grizzly) television anime series premiered in April 2021. The anime celebrated the 20th anniversary of the character. Mori had released a “trial” animated short for the character in 2014.
