[RobynDaBank]

Known for their one and only title Forspoken, the game studio is folding into SQEX officially on May 1 2023. Any patches for visual updates and the upcoming planned DLC are still on their way.

I'll take reasons to be concerned for 500, Alex. I mean, I jest, but hoboy was Forspoken a train wreck. Hopefully that team treats it as a learning experience and gets it fixed in subsequent releases.

I am an obvious outlier, but I didnt Find Forspoken all that bad. but then, I also thought Elden Ring was horrible so... I think I must be some whacko lol

So basically a studio only known for an utterly terrible game is merging into SE? This is either irrelevant or bad news for any future SE projects they're assigned to.

I suppose we should just hope and pray that they don't get assigned to FFXIV. I don't want FFXIV to be another 'learning experience' for them.

It is mildly worrying depending on what Square Enix decides to do with them... As Forspoken doesn't really seem like it was particularly successful or good.

There are various viewpoints covering the topic..,
some thinking it was decent for the devs, whilst removing the chaff of the Upper heads..,

and then there is the XV, and Forspoken angle..,

I mean... they did FF15

Looking around, I don't think they did do FF15, but they did make the game engine the game is running on.

FFXV was definitely one of the games ever.
