Forspoken ‘In Tanta We Trust’ DLC available for all today
Following an 'early access' period for those who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition of Forspoken, the game's follow up DLC In Tanta We Trust is now available for PC and PlayStation 5 owners to purchase and play. Taking place after the ending to Square Enix and Luminous Productions' magic-slinging parkour-filled action-RPG, protagonist Frey Holland is seeing a way to free the world of Athia from ecological catastrophe known as the Break. In doing so, she is flung into the past, to the genesis of events that saw the Break engulf and corrupt the land and its rulers known as the Tantas. Here, she meets Tanta Cinta, who will team up with Frey in combat and traversing Athia's vertically designed environments while using cooperative attacks to fight through Rheddig forces. She also gains new magic spells to her repertoire. You can read more about Forspoken here, and check out our review of the base game here.

Forspoken Review
Originally revealed as Project Athia during the PlayStation 5 Showcase in June 2020, Forspoken was touted by Square Enix as a new blockbuster IP featuring A-list Hollywood writing and casting combined with the latest, greatest technologies in the industry. Despite the high expectations for this game, the marketing for Forspoken was fraught with numerous missteps that put off many potential players ahead of its release. Despite the game being developed by Square Enix’s Luminous Productions, the Japanese studio best known for developing the highly successful Final Fantasy XV, there was more focus on the Hollywood talent attached to the game which felt like a desperate attempt to assign some sort of unearned prestige. Even though Forspoken was making strides within the video game industry by featuring a female person of color as the lead protagonist of their new IP, Square Enix would lean into tired, overused stereotypes by calling Frey’s walk “hip-hoppy”.  Footage of the game looked repetitive at times and barely featured any story content, and the demo released actively turned off a lot of players because of the poorly explained controls and bland map.  When I finally got my hands on Forspoken, I genuinely expected the worst, but was pleasantly surprised to
