Cuff is One of Forspoken's Biggest Remaining Mysteries

gamerant.com:

One of the most interesting aspects of Forspoken that is yet to be fully explored is protagonist Frey Holland's talking bracelets, known simply as Cuff, who has yet to dominate the spotlight in the game's many trailers. Luminous Productions' upcoming action-RPG has had a somewhat troubled development journey so far. First revealed as Project Athia back in 2020, it has subsequently been delayed several times. Despite this though, the game has shown plenty of promise. With a release date set for January 2023, many details about Forspoken including its world and characters, are now known, but Cuff has taken a backseat.

When Frey enters the world of Athia, she finds herself conversing with a voice which she initially assumes is in her head. Upon further investigation though, she realizes the voice is actually tied to a collection of bracelets which appeared on her wrist the moment she entered Athia. This being, named Cuff, serves as Frey's companion throughout her adventure, and could well have a very important role to play.

Hogwarts Legacy May Have a Competitor in Forspoken

Based on footage released so far, Frey Holland may have a hard time proving to be a likeable protagonist. After the troubled loner is very quickly pulled from Earth and thrust into the mystical land of Athia, she discovers that she has new-found powers and magical abilities. Many gamers have found Frey to be irritating from footage and dialogue revealed so far, and her range of sarcastic quips have not quite had the desired reaction. Frey has shown some endearing qualities though, and she looks to be on a journey of self discovery as she transitions from a young troubled adult into a powerful being in a magical land with the help of her permanent companion,
