The release date of the new ARPG ‘Phospoken’, which is being developed by Luminous Productions, a developer under Square Enix, has been delayed from May 24th to October 11th. In addition, as the release date of the main story was delayed, the release date of the prequel DLC ‘Forpoken: In Tanta We Trust’, which was originally scheduled to be released in winter 2022, was also postponed to the spring of 2023.
On the 8th, Luminous Productions announced this through Twitter, citing ‘quality improvement’ as the reason. In order to give gamers the best experience, for the next five months, they will focus on refining the game. In fact, the in-game play video released last December showed a bit of a disappointment in terms of optimization, apart from the excellent graphics. This is because the frame was frequently cut off whenever a flashy skill was used during battle.
‘Phospoken’ is a game that depicts the journey of ‘Fray Holland’, who was having a hard life in New York, flying to the magical world of Asia (Athia) by an unknown power. Next to Frey, who can’t understand the English language, is the magic bracelet cuff worn on his arm. Through Cuff, a companion, advisor, and reliable weapon on the journey, he not only uses powerful magic, but also learns regarding Asia. Now, Frey must embark on a journey to stop the break that is destroying Asia and return to his original world.
Magic Parkour is a special power that helps you navigate the huge Asian world. Not only climbing walls, but also high-speed movement, wire action that moves quickly to a distant wall, and controlling gravity to safely fall from a high place, it is a great help in various aspects of movement.
Another characteristic is the magic battle. Prey uses a variety of magic, including installation type, emission type, range type, melee type, and attack magic, and the player can freely combine them. Magic can be changed by manipulating the ring menu, and various battle methods and strategies can be used according to taste or style.
‘Pospoken’ will be released on PC and PS5 on November 10, and Korean subtitles are officially supported.
