Square Enix’s highly-anticipated PS5 console exclusive Forspoken is being pushed back to October 11, 2022 from its initial release date of May 25, 2022, which is a huge 5-month delay for this promising new IP.

A message from the dev team over at Luminous Productions shared the unfortunate news, saying that “getting it right” is extremely important to the team, and to do so, the next few months will be used to polish the game.

Forspoken Pre-order details

Previously, Square had announced pre-order details for the game, with a number of in-game pre-order bonus items along with a digital deluxe version that includes a mini soundtrack, mini art book, and a story DLC.

The game is now scheduled to release on October 11, 2022 for the PS5 and PC.
