Then again, anyone who finished "Spider-Man: Miles Morales" (which is a side-story, not a sequel) saw this coming since the ending hints at the latter alongside Dr. So far, there's one trailer for " Marvel's Spider-Man 2," which teases Kraven and Venom as the main villains. Here's hoping "Final Fantasy XVI" pans out like that. Of course, we won't know how much fights have improved until we've played a demo, but current impressions point towards a superior experience. More importantly, the system designers appear to have taken the criticisms of "Final Fantasy XV" to heart. While some might balk at the idea of another action-based "Final Fantasy," the combat looks fast and satisfying. That's certainly darker than any prior "Final Fantasy" games. Plus, the game will reportedly feature an " M for Mature" rating for stuff like drug use and torture (via Kotaku). Not "Dark Souls" dark, though more like "The Witcher" or "Game of Thrones" dark, where war, political intrigue, and revenge are a daily part of life. Each trailer demonstrates that the game world will be dark and gritty. The game will launch for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC.While a demo isn't yet available, trailers make it abundantly clear "Final Fantasy XVI" will return the series to its fantasy roots, but it will be a fantasy catered to older audiences. Ella Balinska ( Charlie’s Angels) stars as Frey. Forspoken, formerly known as Project Athia, was revealed in March. The 90-second gameplay trailer shows off Frey’s traversal, melee, offensive, and defensive abilities, as well as the array of beasts and baddies she’ll deploy those skills against. Frey agrees to help the last citizens of Athia, and she sets off on a journey to defeat the Tantas and discover her own powers. The villains here are formerly benevolent matriarchs, known as Tantas, who are now “maddened and evil sorceresses,” says Luminous Productions.

She’s also landed in the middle of a serious conflict, where one side seems not to trust her, and another definitely does not. In a new trailer setting up the narrative, protagonist Frey Holland, a New Yorker, ends up in Athia, possessed of awesome supernatural powers, and not sure why or what to do about either. Forspoken, the narrative adventure from Luminous Productions, will launch May 24, 2022, Square Enix announced at The Game Awards 2022.
