SquareEnix has a way of adverting expectations when it comes to its productions both new and old. From turning “Final Fantasy” into an action-oriented RPG instead of focusing on turn-based strategy to producing a beat-em-up that has yet to get a sequel following its appearance on the PS2, it’s hard to predict what the minds behind SquareEnix will come up with next.

So, to give gamers a taste of what’s to come in January 2023, they surprisingly dropped a PS5 exclusive demo of their latest IP “Forspoken” during the 2022 Game Awards. After some enthusiasm-reducing previews, a portion of this open-world, action RPG experience is here for gamers to, potentially, appreciate. Shine up that talking cuff, clean out your potty mouth, and get these “Forspoken” first impressions.
