Forspoken Tease Us With A Little More Of Its Gameplay

Forspoken — Extended Cut Featuring Ella Balinska

An extended version of the Forspoken announcement is here to give us a few more bits to look at for Forspoken right now

Not that long ago we were presented with Forspoken as it shifted from being to Project Athia to this new name and now official game for the PC and PS5. It was a title many of us have been keeping a close eye on and that is still flowing the same way even with the name change. Now we are back with a new look at the same announcement trailer but in an extended form. Why we had to wait two weeks to get this is beyond me, but it has us all talking about Forspoken and my guess is that was the actual reason. That and for us all to take in the little bit more for the gameplay we did not get the first time. It would have been better to do it all in one shot in my opinion.

No matter the case, here we go with the extra few seconds in the mix for Forspoken. This time it seems to focus more on the zombie bear we saw very little of in the first shot and now we get a whole extra few seconds to look at. Not much, until you try to figure out why the bear is in this state. The model and textures for the beast seem to suggest that it is not a reanimated corpse of a bear but maybe one that suffers from a disease in the real world. One that makes animals, specifically deer, ignore the pain in their body and thus can have chunks of flesh missing down to the bone. Giving them all the same look that we have here in Forspoken. Maybe this is part of the lore and why the world is in the state that it is in here to a degree. Sure, there will be some magic in the mix but given the real-world setting in the background of the destroyed buildings, this could be part of why the world has changed. Even if it is a different one than Earth that we know so far. Who would have thought that 3 seconds of footage could have caused this kind of shift in thinking for the game?

Did you see more for Forspoken in there than these few seconds or was that about it for you too?
