One trailer released in August was immediately a subject of memes across the internet. In the clips, Frey is full of quips and sarcastic responses (not to mention the dialogue between her and her sentient cuffs) that had some rolling their eyes at what they branded “ Whedon-esque dialogue,” a style found in most Marvel films. While plenty are excited about the world and this perky protagonist, many are critical of the tone highlighted in early trailers. That’s about all fans know about the story so far, for better or for worse. Frey is adorned with a sentient magical bracelet upon arrival and is set loose to traverse across the open-world plains of this new land, mastering her new magical abilities along the way as she is tasked with waging war against treacherous creatures and punching up at a ruling class known as the Tantas. We know that the game follows the story of Frey Holland, a modern-day New Yorker who is, without explanation, transported through a portal to the high-fantasy world of Athia. While current Forspoken trailers are intriguing, there are still a lot of secrets the developers are keeping close to their vest for now.
