Over the past few weeks, a fair amount of Forspoken gameplay has been shared, showcasing its parkour, combat, and more. That said, we still haven’t seen that much regarding its larger world and story. Thankfully, Square Enix has dropped a new chunk of gameplay showcasing exactly that.

　　The video introduces us to the “Tanta,” sorceresses that rule the land of Athia. We see a boss fight with one of them and an interesting sequence where another creates a twisted illusory version of New York to trap our protagonist Frey. We also get a peek at the Breakbeasts – powerful enemies that can be battled within the Break, which is a dark force that will periodically take over the land. Check out the latest Forspoken showcase for yourself below (warning, the video contains some SPOILERS).

　　Looking interesting. Hopefully, they really push each Tanta boss as a unique challenge. Intrigued and want to try the game out for yourself? A Forspoken demo is available now via the PlayStation Store. Here’s the game’s official description…
