Forspoken is the debut game from Luminous Productions, created by former Final Fantasy XV staff. Originally called Project Athia, it was developed to showcase the PlayStation 5's power with features such as ray tracing and procedural generation. The writing team includes Gary Whitta and Amy Hennig, while Black Girl Gamers provided consultation on the characterization of Frey. The music was composed by Bear McCreary and Garry Schyman.
