The PlayStation 5 has had an incredible 2022 already, with PlayStation exclusives likeHorizon Forbidden WestandGran Turismo 7earning rave reviews from critics. One of the next big PS5 console exclusive games on the horizon isForspokenfrom Square Enix, an action-RPG that looks like it has a ton of potential. Square Enix fans were counting on playingForspokenin May, but a new rumor making the rounds online suggests that the game could get delayed.
This rumor comes from AccountNGT on Twitter, who has accurately leaked industry news in the past. According to AccountNGT, a source has told them that theForspokenrelease datemay get pushed back.Forspokenis currently scheduled to launch on May 24 for PC and PS5, though it’s unclear how far back the game may get delayed if AccountNGT’s information is accurate.

AccountNGT speculates that ifForspoken’s release date is delayed as their source claims, it’s possible that it could be announced at therumored PlayStation event. While Sony has not made any official announcements, various people have claimed that a PlayStation event is going to take place this month, likely in the form of a State of Play presentation. If so, it’s possible that a new release date forForspokencould very well be announced at the event. On the other hand, it’s also possible such an event could help solidifyForspoken’s May 24 release date and cast away any worry that it could be getting delayed.
There haven’t been any major updates onForspokensince The Game Awards, where Square Enix released an impressive new trailer for the game. The latestForspokentrailer showed off the game’s gorgeous visuals and impressive-looking combat, while also providing fans with more details about its story. Those looking forward to the game have a pretty good idea of what to expect from it because of this and otherForspokentrailers, but there are still some unanswered questions.
Last month,Forspokenwas officially rated by the ESRB. Usually this happens when a game’s release is imminent, and so that may go against the rumors of it possibly getting delayed. Regardless, theForspokenESRB rating suggestedthat the game will have microtransactions, but those have yet to be detailed by Square Enix. SinceForspokenis a single-player experience, it’s hard to see how microtransactions would really fit, but if they are indeed in the game, more information will likely come to light prior to launch.
Forspokenis scheduled to launch for PC and PS5 on May 24.
