FORSPOKEN
Forspoken is an action RPG that follows the journey of Frey, a young New Yorker transported to the beautiful and cruel land of Athia.
In search of a way home, Frey must use her newfound magical abilities to traverse sprawling landscapes, battle monstrous creatures and defeat powerful matriarchs known as Tantas
.
Blending contemporary electronic beats with a fantasy tone, Forspoken's score has been composed by BAFTA award-winning composers Bear McCreary (God of War and TV series The Walking Dead) and Garry Schyman (Bioshock series).
OUR CONTRIBUTION
Black Girl Gamers were hired to consult Forspoken to provide insight on narrative and feedback on a pre-release build of the game that spanned from the gameplay experience to the portrayal of Frey as a female protagonist of Black descent including topics such as colorism and texturism. This was an important consultation given that Frey is one of the first female protagonists of Black descent in the fantasy game genre.
