Today, Japanese publisher Square Enix confirmed that sales of Forespoken have been weak and have not met expectations. This comes after the game's launch last January on PS5 and PC devices.
Forspoken received a lot of criticism even before its release. Where a demo of the game was released on PlayStation 5 devices, it was riddled with technical issues, and despite player reviews, the final product did not address these issues.
Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda said in the company's financial results report last month:
“The reviews for the Forspoken game we launched on January 24, 2023 were challenging, however, the game also received positive feedback for its movement features, including its fighting and parkour abilities, so it produced results that will improve our development capabilities for other games in the future.”
However, that's all Yosuke Matsuda Admittedly, the game's sales were weak and lackluster. Therefore, there are high risks of a drop in the company's profits in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Therefore, the company announced that it will continue working on the game to improve its performance and develop its additional content, which is supposed to be available this summer.
The additional content will make up for the players' failure of the original game. It has also been confirmed that many updates will be released that will become technical issues. Do you think the upcoming additional content for the game will be able to bring players back to it?
