We now know a little more about PlayStation 5 console exclusive, Forspoken – the project formerly known as Project Athia. The game will star a character called Frey Holland, an “ordinary young woman” played by British actress Ella Balinska who “must harness her magical abilities to survive in the fantastical yet dangerous world land of Athia”. But we’ll be learning even more “later this year”.
That’s according to the YouTube description of an extended trailer for the title, which introduces a “sneak peek of new exhilarating gameplay” where we see Frey cursing at a bear – seriously! The tone of this game is intriguing us right now; it seems both hyper-serious and irreverent all at the same time. We’re loving the look of the traversal and combat, though, and we’re eagerly anticipating the next update so we can see how it all comes together.

anyone else think this looks A LOT like HZD?
Unpopular Opinion: The Cursing put me off.
I'm hooked. Now let's see what more they come up with. Hope it's a good enough story to back up the graphics, gameplay and those weird powers.
@3Above
I'm confused wheres the cussing ?
Oops ok i see it nvm meeeeh
And why wouldn't there be more information coming out this year? Must be a slow news day.
@3Above. The cursing turn me on.f😄ck off with a magic spell to that 🐻 bear.n.i.c.e..i like this game even more.word up ☝ son
I would be 100% hyped for this if not for the profanity. It feels fitting in games like Uncharted where it comes off natural. But this is just cringe "Let's put in an F- bomb so that all the 12 year olds know it's a cool game."
The traversal looks the coolest thing ever though.
Damn, I didn't know so many f@#$%ng people are against cursing. f@#$ that s@#$! I don't mind it at all!
The only VERY MINOR nitpick I had is when she was told to hide she didn’t lay down by the column.
I really like how the game looks.
Looks like hzd, under the influence. 🤪
Some people huh, don't mind games where you decapitate enemies and shot off lbs but drop a little f-bomb and they recoil in horror, clutching their pearls.
😉
Game looks really really good.
When I first saw this, it looked like the backend of a bear.
The name is terrible, the game looks cool, but I can't help but feel it's trying to be "edgey" and "relevant" at the cost of it's own identity and immersion.
@SlySnake0407 That's possible and that would make more sense. No way of knowing for sure from this trailer tho.
@AhmadSumadi I'm not against cursing but I don't like it when it's used so much or is just forced like "f this" "f that" or "is that a f$&%ing dragon?" Which makes them sound less impactful. That's why I don't like DmC reboot.
Any game where you can tell a bear to f**koff is a plus point in my view.
@Nepp67 I just hated the entire cast from DMC. Dante was a annoying ass nothing like the original Dante likeable but a good guy with a good heart and funny, Vergil was so unlikeable, the girl yeah she was ok to bland. It shows when the best about the characters are the bad guys with such iconic characters like Dante and Vergil.
@AhmadSumadi prudes
@Flaming_Kaiser The girl was the blandest and most forgettable character in that game lol
@AhmadSumadi its not being against cursing, it’s just the way its done here, just feels really out of place and very forced. The game looks great though.
@QueenOfHearts38 What Would Be Your Reaction To Seeing a Dragon For The First Time?
@Areus not a line from the snakes on a plane movie, that’s for sure............
This looks fantastic. The traversal just blows me away. I really hope they can marry this with a non-groan inducing story and some interesting dialogue. Could be a masterpiece.
I'm excited for this title. Excellent use of cussing as well.
The name of the game doesn't sound the best but when I google it and see the definition "to enchant" that makes kind of more sense! Looks pretty cool and awesome animations, will play!
@QueenOfHearts38 I'd argue you don't know what "forced" means.
It was so mild and in such a natural way I had to re-listen to the trailer three times to catch it. Nothing forced about it in the writing or the way the actor spoke it.
Strange.
I'd imagine we'd probably get an equivalent of the "PS5 - The Future of Gaming" showcase this summer and it appears there.
@Nepp67 What was her name? 😂
Lady and Trish are the ones that sticked with me.
@Flaming_Kaiser It was Kat and same here. They were more memorable and interesting compared to her.
@Nepp67 I didnt hate the game but it had so much disrespect toowards the old game and fans. And they really messed the characters esspecially if you loved Dante, Vergil, Lady and Trish. Kat wasnt horrible but she was so forgettable.
@HeroYoshiko ok i don’t care what you think. Someone asked a question and i gave my answer if you don’t like it that’s your problem. If you think it sounds good well yay for you, others like myself don’t. So how about you don’t act like a jerk.
lol great im a trailer park boys fan i dont care about cussing more the merrier lol.
they really did it well in the recent battlestar tv show 😂. yes im down for this game 😂
@Flaming_Kaiser Yep, if it wasn't called DMC it would've been fine but then again I still wouldn't be a fan of it cause of how unnecessarily edgy it is.
@Nepp67 I know its like mom im wearing a short skirt look at me or dad yeah i took that tattoo what are you going too do now. 🤪
I do agree that the cursing felt forced...but still looking forward to hearing more about the game either way.
@QueenOfHearts38 Cussing at me seemed very forced. Smh.
