Square Enix officially revealed the release date for the upcoming Forspoken DLC that gives players a chance to go back in time before the events of the game.
Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust will release on PC and consoles on May 26, and players who purchased the Digital Deluxe edition will get access to the DLC on May 23. The prequel sets players back 25 years from the event of the main game, picking up with Frey as she searches for a way to eradicate the Break from Athia, a press release says.
“Frey finds herself following a mysterious voice that leads her to a place that somehow transports her to the Purge of the Rheddig, the legendary battle that devastated Athia and eventually drove the Tantas to madness,” the press release says. “Accompanied by Tanta Cinta and a new set of magical abilities, Frey must uncover the answers and save Athia once more – and attempt to save herself.”
Players will help Frey unlock new combat strategies using a new magical ability that allows her to “coordinate devastating attack combos against the invading Rheddig forces,” and the game will feature “unique, vertically-designed environments with Frey’s honed magic-enhanced parkour skills.”
