11 Things To Know Before You Buy – Forespoken

Side Activities

There will be plenty of side activities that you can do in Forespoken. It is an open world with a vast and huge map that will have certain types of activities for you to check out. Here are some of them:

• Monuments
• Side Quests
• Collectibles
• Locked Labyrinths
• Flashback Challenges

Even More Side Activities

If you thought that that was everything, you would be mistaken. There are a lot of side activities that aren’t necessarily part of the game’s world, but part of your own skills and spells. Here are some of them:

• Spellcraft Challenges
• Points of Interest
• Combat Challenges
• Partha Dice Game

Cuff Functions

You will have a Cuff or a magical Bracelet on the protagonist’s arm. This will be your constant companion throughout the game no matter what you might be doing. It will be casting spells, upgrading, a lot of the lore that goes with it, combat, world scanning, and so on. It will be the most important thing when playing as Frey.

Pilgrim Refugees & Camps

When you’re exploring the world of Anthia and you want to take a break from let’s say the combat, you can do so in special locations such as Camps or the Pilgrim Refugees. These will be your ultimate go-to in these cases.

These are basically safe zones where you know that you can’t be engaged in any combat and are simply there for you to explore the lore, characters, market, side activities, and games, crafting, unlocking spells, equipment upgrade and more.

Demo & Improvements

There has been a Demo of Forespoken on PS5 for a while now and the feedback from gamers playing it has been pretty mixed. The developers have been promising that the game will be upgraded and it’s not going to be in the same state. There have been Demo upgrades too which leads us to believe that these upgrades might be true. Let’s hope for the best, however.

PS5 Storage

The game will be massive from everything we have seen about it so far. This also means that the download size will be a pretty big one. On PS5 the game will have a download size of 87 GB. This doesn’t mean that it is how much it will take up from your storage but the point is – you’ll need plenty of available storage space, to begin with.

PC Features

There have been a lot of things announced for the PC version. There will be many Visual changes to tailor your experience the way you like it, ultra-fast loading times, HDR support, Super Widescreen, 7.1 Audio, Dynamic Refresh Rates, and direct storage implementation. It’s safe to say, the game is going to be good for PC gamers.

Minimum & Recommended Requirements

Here is everything you need to know about whether your system can run Forespoken or not.

Ultra Requirements

As you can see in the picture above, Forspoken can be played on PC on 4K with 60FPS on Ultra settings. For this to be possible however, you will need 32GB or RAM and either a Radon RX 6800 XT with 16 GB VRAM or GeforceGTX 4080 with 16 GB of VRAM and either a Rysen 5 5800X or an i7 i-27000.

Meanwhile, on either of the three settings, you’ll need a whopping 150 GB for free storage space with minimum specs requiring HDD.So yeah, you’ll need quite the best to play it on Ultra.

Playstation Console Exclusivity

Forspoken will be launching as a PS5 Console exclusive but how long will it be before it comes to Xbox? From what we know so far, Forespoken will be at least PS5 exclusive for 24 months before it gets released on the Xbox. That means that until January 2025 we won’t be seeing this game on other consoles than PS.

Those are all the things you need to know about Forespoken before you wish to purchase it on your own. We hope that this guide has given you a good insight into the game before you own it and buy it for playing. A big thank you to GamingBolt for some of their helpful info.
