There will be no sequel!

[kaworu83]

I'm relieved after reading this article:
Forspoken Devs Were Planning Other Projects Including A Sequel Before Getting Shut Down [twistedvoxel.com]
As someone who played the game from start to finish, I'm happy that this IP will never see a sequel.
The game is so underwhelming that playing one game in this series is more than enough. Especially considering the quality of the story telling (story cussing some would say) and the shallow barren open world, I'm glad there will not be a sequel.
Thanks!

Lemme play Devil's Advocate here and say that a sequel could've been a chance for Luminous to finally get their ♥♥♥♥ together and make something great.

There have been franchises that started out average with their first title, but then improved greatly in the sequel.
Assassin's Creed
Soulcalibur
The Witcher games
Fallout

Forspoken had potential. Traversal is good, the magic is interesting.
The isekai thing may have been overdone to hell and back, but titles like Rising of the Shield Hero showed people that there can be great stories in the genre, if writers put in the work.

Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that Luminous already had the shadow of Final Fantasy XV looming over them, so failure...

Well, we saw the news, didn't we?

Games are a very competitive scene and mostly devs don't get any second chances. Especially if we talk about a supposedly AAA game, which lost tons of money. It's not like Square will do the understanding parent thing, pat their heads and tell them to try again and give them money

Considering the studio got reintegrated and not closed them already working on a sequel kind of means the opposite but hey, "studio got closed" is the narrative so let the trolls believe what they want to.

Can you give us the source for your assumption that they "already work on a sequel" ?

The article says that they were planning.
It says nothing about if they are still planning, after the "merge" went down.

the game was more popular as a twitter debate piece than an actual video game with players, love to see it

[kyse2]

just cuz that happen doesnt mean a 2nd wont come it just wont be done on luminous engine most likely would go with something else like Unreal Engine 5 and if they did i think it would help the game alot as it would look better and run better

The actual twitter post that was linked in the article says they were working on it and provides no evidence that they have stopped so...

A sequel for this game is literally impossible, the protag is a disaster and the world is nothing special. Neither can be reused plus "luminous production" and "forspoken" have too much dirt on them. Easier to make a new IP.

But they also provide no evidence that they are still working on it after the "merge" happend.

If Square comes out with a statement : "We are working on Forgotten 2"
than I belive you, but until then highly doubtful.

Oh boy, another Forspoken discussion board to be shut down!

The game failed, it was mocked, ridiculed, memed to hell and back in the worst way possible, and held up as the embodiment of everything wrong with MODERN GAMING™.

Wasted potential doesn't even begin to describe it.
Don't you have games to play? Or is defending this game the only source of entertainment for you?

Yeah, it kind of is what is wrong with modern gaming - lack of optimization, exploitative media and an army of trolls that try to ruin everything for everybody.

Shame for no sequel. I actually enjoyed the game. I don't see what people don't like about it.
