Luminous Productions, the Square Enix subsidiary responsible for the creation of Final Fantasy XV, has never been short of ambition. After being handed the impossible task of taking over the development of Final Fantasy XV, which ended up being the third best-selling mainline title, the former Business Division 2 focused their efforts on a new action RPG, Forspoken.
The stylish "narrative-driven" adventure was initially revealed under a different working title, Project Althia, before Square Enix announced the game's official name at last year's Square Enix Presents. Since then, most fans have expected the game to release on May 24. Unfortunately, with only a few months to go, Square Enix has confirmed that Forspoken's development team needs more time "polishing the game", which lines up with an earlier leak.
Ever since CD Projekt RED's controversial Cyberpunk 2077, delays have become normal if encouraged in the video game industry. More consumers are becoming understanding of the game development process. Not to mention, most studios are now aware that previous "normal" working conditions in the industry were far from ideal.
