Luminous Productions has released a cinematic trailer for its next PlayStation 5 and PC title, blending deep role playing with high-octane action to keep fans gripping their seats. The adventure centers on Frey Holland, a young heroine who must master and refine her magical abilities to survive a perilous journey and uncover the mysteries of the striking realm of Athia. The lead role is played by Ella Balinska, known from the Charlie’s Angels films, with Gary Whitta and Amy Hennig crafting the story, the latter celebrated for shaping the first three Uncharted games.
Way back home
The narrative begins with the puzzling question of how Frey Holland ends up far from her home in Istanbul and New York, landing in the breathtaking yet perilous world of Athia. Throughout the voyage, she faces monstrous beings and powerful foes while seeking a path back to her own world. Along the way, Frey learns to wield a broad arsenal of spells, unleashing devastating magical effects while navigating Athia’s awe-inspiring landscapes. Her journey features parkour-inspired feats, each infused with magic that propels her through vast, open environments with speed and agility.
From the outset, Athia unfolds as a sprawling setting filled with hidden corners and endless discoveries. Frey’s mission is framed as a rescue quest, packed with demanding trials and occasional heartening encounters with locals who need aid. The landscape is dotted with ancient monuments and sacred stones where traces of a force known as the Tear’s corruption have been sealed. As those monuments are cleansed, Frey’s power grows, strengthening her resilience and unlocking new abilities that push her deeper into the mythic conflict at the heart of Athia.
Powerful magic
Frey’s magical repertoire expands by solving challenges found in ancient tomes scattered across the realm. Yet the task is immense; saving an entire world weighs heavily, and moments of rest are essential. In these respites, players can engage with a mechanic that uses a bone-made dice set to simulate luck, granting temporary buffs to navigate treacherous trials. The game also invites exploration through a photo mode, where players capture scenes around Athia and share them with local residents. Building a larger gallery unlocks new features and customization options that enrich the experience as the journey unfolds.
As the adventure continues, Frey encounters magical animal allies who accompany her through treacherous monuments built to honor these enigmatic beings. Building bonds with these creatures adds another layer to the world’s charm and its many secrets. Forspoken released simultaneously for PlayStation 5 and PC and is available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and the Epic Games Store. The cinematic trailer remains a must-watch for fans eager to glimpse the evolving dynamics of Frey’s powers and the world they inhabit, with anticipation continuing to rise ahead of launch.
