The game takes place in the land of Athia, where mysterious creatures like dragons roam. Holland is described as learning to harness magic in order to overcome the challenges around her.
Not a lot is currently known about this mysterious new IP however, we do know that's it's coming to PS5 and PC at some point in 2022. According to disclaimer text from a PlayStation promotional trailer, it's a two year timed exclusive to PS5.
Forspoken isn't the only big upcoming Square Enix title arriving on PlayStation first, as Final Fantasy 16 is a timed PS5 exclusive as well, though unlike Forspoken, it doesn't currently have a release date or even a release window.
