If you have been following the news a bit Square-Enix In recent days, you may have noticed that the publisher’s end-of-year calendar was very full. We once again had proof of this last night with the new trailer for Valkyria Elysiumwho confirmed to us that the title was aiming for a release at the end of September, a short week after The Diofeld Chronicles, the next TRPG from Square Enix. But it may just plug a hole that has just been opened by Forspokenwhich was expected for October, but which will finally skip the year 2022.
What is the new Forspoken release date?

And a new report for Forspoken, a. Initially, the title was to arrive in our hands on May 24, but it had been postponed to October 11 to allow the teams to refine the game, after initial feedback from the press which was not really conclusive.
Rebelote today, with Square Enix announcing that Forspoken is again postponed. Instead of coming out at the end of the year, the game will not arrive until January 24, 2023.
The team then explains that the game is now in its optimization phase, and while a little extra tweaking won’t hurt the title, we imagine that this decision to postpone Forspoken is above all commercial.
Difficult for a new license to find a place among the behemoths of the end of the year, as God of War Ragnarok, and it must be said that the last months of 2022 will already be filled with other games from Square Enix. No reason to rush to Forspoken therefore, knowing that the month of January 2023 will perhaps be a little more favorable to him.
