Game News Forspoken: microtransactions or no microtransactions? Square-Enix responds
Published on 05/28/2022 at 14:36
It has been rumored for some time that Forspoken will include microtransactions, and not via rumors but via very official reviews. Information that could intrigue more than one and which today has a clarification by Square-Enix itself.
DLCs, yes, but no microtransactions
Many months agowe inform you that Forspoken, the brand new blockbuster from Square-Enix, had just been screened by the ESRB. As a reminder, the latter is none other than the North American classification body, which was thus able to examine the content of the title with a view to assigning it a minimum player age. We then learned that the game would have microtransactions, or rather “in-game purchases”.
A detail corroborated by our own PEGI which, only a few days ago, also revealed some other info on the nature of the adventure. Obviously, we wondered what these microtransactions could look like.
Square-Enix took the liberty of clarifying things themselves in Game Informer issue 344: there will be no microtransactions per se, but additional paid content. These will be larger in scale, however, starting with a prequel named “In Tanta We Trust” which will arrive this winter.
direction october
Basically, Forspoken was scheduled for May 24 before finally being pushed back several months. In question, a lack of time to get down to a real finish, so as to suit the expectations of the players: hard to blame them for anything.
The adventure of Frey – the heroine of the game who will find herself in a magical and mystical world, endowed with supernatural powers – is now scheduled for October 11 on PC and PlayStation 5. The developers say their baby will rely on a whole bunch of next-gen technology, with even the fastest load times ever for an open world on Sony’s machine. Just that !
