Find your fight!

Forspoken follows the journey of Frey, a young New Yorker transported to the beautiful and cruel land of Athia. In search of a way home, Frey must use her newfound magical abilities to traverse sprawling landscapes and battle monstrous creatures.

Magic Parkour: Frey's unique abilities allow her to fluidly traverse the open world with ease. Scale walls, vault across canyons, leap from dizzying heights, and dash through vast landscapes. Using her newfound magical abilities, Frey is not only able to nimbly traverse the treacherous terrain of Athia and explore her strange new surroundings. This Magic Parkour also comes in handy when she comes toe-to-toe with the multitude of enemies lurking in the corrupted landscape of the Break.

Magic Combat: Take on twisted monsters in magical combat with a wide range of powerful abilities catering to a variety of playstyles – from fast-paced and exhilarating to strategic and methodical. With a wide arsenal of powerful magic at her disposal, Frey can take on the countless twisted foes that lurk in the Break. Mastering multiple magic types enables customizable combat options and numerous ways to fight the enemies threatening the realm of Athia.

The Land of Athia: After arriving in Athia, Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses. Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. With so much more to uncover and experience in Athia, Frey will quickly learn that this magical land—and its inhabitants— are indeed worth fighting for.

Exploring Athia: Athia is a sprawling, magical world filled with adventure and discovery. On her quest to save this mystical land from the Tantas, Frey will uncover a variety of interesting detours, formidable challenges, and even a few delightful encounters. The world of Athia has been afflicted by a corrupting force known as the Break, and Frey’s ability to venture into these blighted areas unscathed proves to be invaluable to the surviving Athians living in Cipal. Frey has plenty of ways to keep her hands full while searching for a way home to New York, including some very intriguing points of interest to explore.

Characters:

• Alfre \"Frey\" Holland: Frey Holland was used to feeling like an outsider while growing up in New York City, but she is quickly pushed to her limits after being mysteriously transported to Athia, a strange land with people, places, and cultures unlike anything Frey has ever seen. When she is mysteriously transported to the fantastical land of Athia, she discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes. With her magical, sentient bracelet “Cuff” she sets off on a journey to find a way home. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.


• Cuff: Cuff appears on Frey’s right arm when she is transported to Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet who guides Frey as she explores the treacherous landscapes of Athia and learns to cast magical spells. He has an acerbic wit and often jokes cynically with Frey – who is the only person who can hear his voice. Her new, cynical companion \"\"Cuff\"\" helps Frey navigate through the sprawling landscapes of Athia.


• Tanta Sila: The strongest and most formidable of the Tantas: destructive and twisted all-powerful matriarchs who have dominion over Athia. Sila is a dictatorial despot, who is known for indiscriminately crushing any person or thing that stands in her way.


• Tanta Prav: At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses. Acting as the judge, jury, and executioner of her realm, Prav is judgmental and illogical. Because she believes everyone surrounding her is wrong and rashly punishes those she considers to be guilty. She deprives her people of principle and true justice.
• Tanta Olas: As the Tanta of Wisdom, Olas’ lust for knowledge consumes her. She uses her magic to absorb people's thoughts to acquire new knowledge, and will trap anyone she considers a threat inside a world of illusion.
