Square Enix announced today that: pronounced out now on January 24 for PlayStation 5 and PC.

The action RPG was originally scheduled for October 11. These kinds of delays, especially for large triple-A games, are not uncommon in this industry.

In announcing the delay, Square Enix described the delay as a “strategic decision.” It also notes that we’ll be hearing more about the game later this summer.

Years ago, missing the holidays felt like a death sentence for a big game. But lately we’ve seen more games succeed in the first quarter of the year. And if a lot of people get PS5s for the holidays, Forspoken could become an attractive purchase.
