Now, as one of the first trailers for a big release to be shown at the event, gamers are getting another look atForspoken. The open-world, action adventure title centers around Frey, a young woman who lives an ordinary life in New York.

It seems that this narrative is the focus ofForspoken’snew trailer. The new footage runs for about two minutes and does not yet have an English version. However, there are some key details aroundForspoken’sstoryand gameplay that can still be gleaned from it. In the first few seconds of the trailer, fans get a closer look at a couple ofForspoken’sdragons. While it isn’t exactly clear what side the dragons are on in the game, it is likely Frey will have to take on at least one as they can be seen soaring above the corrupted areas of Athia.
It seems the ideas around this corruption are what the new trailer mainly revolves around, as Frey is accused by the people of Athia of bringing the darkness to their lands. Through multiple scenes with different leaders and NPCs inForspoken’s world, it appears that Frey does not have an easy time making friends in her new home, as she is even accused of furthering the corruption that has taken hold of Athia. However, there are a few who believe that Frey and hermagical bracelet Cuff might be of use inForspoken.
It was already inferred that Frey would be up against some ofForspoken’sauthority figuresin the game, but through this new TGS trailer, fans can see how that relationship could develop over the course of the story. It seems Frey is out to prove herself to those who believe she is causing Athia’s corruption, and it appears only by stopping the curse can she make herself innocent.
Forspokenis scheduled to release on July 17, 2025, on PC and PS5.
