Square Enix has announced Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust releases on May 26th. Along with the release announcement, a gameplay trailer has been released. If you have purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game, you will get the DLC 3 days early on May 23rd. The DLC follows on from the games main story which Frey continues her search to free Athia from corruption. Here is more details below…
If you’ve played Forspoken, you’ll have experienced the effects of the Break – the horrifying phenomenon that has corrupted the land and its creatures. Now you can see where it all began.
New DLC for the game, Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust, is coming May 26 and it takes you deep into the past of Athia and the pivotal event that set the events of the original adventure in motion. With new powers, new challenges to overcome and a powerful ally by your side, there’s a lot to look forward to. Read on and we’ll tell you all about it:
What’s the story of Forspoken: In Tanta We Trust?
The new DLC is set after the original game’s story. Frey has brought peace to Athia, but the effects of the Break remain. As Frey searches for a way to free the land from this corruption, she hears a mysterious voice. Following it leads her to a destination she could never have expected: the past.
She arrives, injured and draped in blood-soaked clothing, and finds a land at war. She has travelled to the Purge of the Rheddig – the legendary battle that devastated Athia and eventually drove the Tantas to madness. She also learns a grim truth about herself.
Accompanied by Tanta Cinta and a new set of magical abilities, Frey sets out to discover the truth behind these events, save Athia… and perhaps also herself.
What’s new in the DLC?
Frey’s journey into the past brings with it a whole new set of abilities to get to grips with. These powers are just as impactful, visually spectacular and fun to use as those in the main game
For example, Frey can now use:
- Skewer – a support spell that fires a beam of magic straight ahead that has a chance of crystallizing enemies
- Shock – this unleashes a wave of magical enemies that can also crystallize your foes.
- Allied Strike: Team up with Tanta Cinta to unleash a devastating volley of piercing bullets at enemies ahead!
But perhaps the most impactful new addition comes from your traveling companion: Tanta Cinta. Those of you who’ve finished the game know that she’s plenty powerful in her own right, and her strength will be a valuable asset as you explore this dangerous past.
She’ll support you in battle – for example, if low on health, she’ll summon a shield and take on foes with her own powerful attacks. But it’s when you combine your powers that you truly become a team to be reckoned with. Many of Frey’s new abilities crystallize or cause status effects on foes, setting them up for a brutal follow-up attack by Cinta.
By strategically using your powers, and those of your companion, you’ll be able to take on hordes of dangerous foes at a time. It adds a fresh new dimension to combat that’s unique to this DLC.
