The community were also introduced to the the actress who will be playing her, Ella Balinska, who is best known for her role in 2019’s Charlie’s Angels.

Balinksa spoke about her character in Forspoken, saying: “Frey as a character is real, she’s raw, she’s a girl who lost her way—both figuratively and literally—and is a character I immediately connected with, as I feel many people around the world will too when they set off on this adventure.”

A cinematic sneak peek was also shared during the livestream which showed off third-person gameplay featuring Frey’s magical abilities, a look at Athia’s environments, as well as some fantasy creatures.
