Interestingly, for those who don’t want to listen to too much of the banter between Frey and Cuff during gameplay, the game will give you the option to dial that down. As its name suggests, that can be used to scan the area around you for items and enemies, and can also reveal information on enemies’ weaknesses. On the combat front, for instance, Cuff can take damage in your stead, while he also has an ability called Cuff Scan. Meanwhile, players will also be able to find and take on mutated creatures and special bosses, or even play the dice game known as Partha, which can yield various buffs.Ĭuff – the magical, sentient bracelet on Frey’s arm – will not only be her constant companion and serve an important role in the story, he will have plenty of involvement on the gameplay front as well. Several other side activities have also been detailed- like Spellcraft Challenges, which will task players with using specific spells certain number of times in order to make them more powerful, or discovering all points of interests in the map, of which there are at least a hundred, according to the game’s Trophies.

Meanwhile, Frey can also visit Monuments to Wisdom, where she can take on repeatable challenges called Flashbacks for a variety of rewards. Then there are the Locked Labyrinths, which (as the name suggests) are dungeons where you’ll encounter more powerful enemies, and be rewarded with new equipment upon clearing them. For instance, there are several monuments scattered across the open world of Athia (at least 50, as per the leaked Trophies list), which are fractions of power that you can liberate to increase your stats. To that end, here, as we count the days down to Forspoken’s launch, we’re going to go over a few key details that you should know about the game.Īs an open world experience, you’d expect Forspoken to pack in plenty of optional content, and sure enough, it looks like it will have quite a bit of side stuff to offer beyond its main story. We have, of course, covered those details extensively here at GamingBolt, but there’s still plenty to talk about.

Square Enix has kept up the rollout of new details on Forspoken in the lead up to its launch for PS5 and PC on January 24, with more fresh information emerging on the upcoming open world action RPG at a pretty consistent rate.
