Luminous Productionsin Forspoken julkaistiin tammikuun lopulla, ja Gamereactorin arvion voi lukea täältä. Peli ei myynyt odotetusti, ja koitui lopulta kehittäjänsä tuhoksi. Toiveet jatko-osasta voidaan siis unohtaa.
Square Enixin pomo Yosuke Matsuda laittaakin nyt toivonsa NFT-menoon myöhemmin vuonna 2023, koskapa Forspoken niin paha mahalasku oli Games Industryn mukaan.
"Reviews of Forspoken, which we released on January 24, 2023, have been challenging, its sales have been lackluster, and while the performance of new titles with February and March release dates will be the ultimate determinant, we see considerable downside risk to our FY2022/3 earnings,"
Matsudan mukaan NFT tuo valon pimeyteen.
"We have organized our pipeline so that we will have a good spread of new releases in FY2025/3 and beyond as well, we also hope that you will look forward to the blockchain games we plan to launch in FY2024/3 and thereafter."
