Forspoken trailer getting rough response online Perhaps Frey should have not-spoken instead... News by Liv Ngan Reporter Intern Published on 11 Aug 2022 30 comments So let me get this straight. I'm somewhere that's not what I would call the Eurogamer office. I'm seeing my name printed on the site. And... oh yeah I'm writing meme round-ups for Eurogamer. Yeah okay that is something I do now. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. The latest Forspoken trailer was really asking for it though. Forspoken last made the headlines when its release date was pushed back from 11th October this year to 24th January 2023. It's back again, though this time for a more light-hearted reason. Watch on YouTube Forspoken gameplay trailer shown at State of Play, March 2022. A trailer posted on Forspoken's Twitter account this week has been raising eyebrows. It's meant to tell us more about the setting of the game and lead character Frey Holland. Instead what it manages to do is fill you up with cringe thanks to the dialogue spoken over some bits of gameplay cut together. It's been dunked on far and wide, and if you don't understand why yet, watch it for yourself. A beautiful and cruel new land? Twisted monsters? An array of magical abilities? Sentient jewellery!?

If you want to imagine your favourite characters talking with Joss Whedon's quippy style of dialogue, then look no further. The good hunter finds themselves somewhere that's not what they would call the waking world. https://t.co/1CCDZjh0jK pic.twitter.com/9IpBvw06a5- wes (@funnywes) August 10, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
