Square Enix's PS5 console exclusive game Forspoken has been turning heads thanks to its impressive visuals and beautifully-animated action-RPG gameplay. Fans had been looking forward to playing Forspoken for themselves come May, but they'll have to wait a little longer than expected. Square Enix has officially announced that the Forspoken release date has been delayed by a whopping five months.
There had been rumors about a possible Forspoken release date delay, but now it's official. The new Forspoken release date is October 11, and while that's a rather significant delay, at least fans will still get to play it this year. Along with confirming the game's release date delay, Square Enix also revealed why exactly that decision was made.

The announcement ended with Square Enix saying that it will be sharing more info on Forspoken «soon.»
