What does the trailer of Forspoken showcase?
Forspoken's first trailer showcases a blend of gameplay and cinematic storytelling. The protagonist, Frey Holland, is shown being transported to a different version of Earth via a portal after a confrontation with thugs in the city. Once in this new world, Frey is informed by a voice coming from her bracelet that she has been gifted with new magical abilities that can be used in combat and to traverse the game's vast world quickly.
The trailer reveals that Frey has been summoned to this fantasy world as the last hope to battle a powerful sorceress named Tanta Sila, who can be seen fighting Frey at the end of the trailer. Tanta is believed to be a malevolent magic user that the residents of this world live in fear of. The game promises an exciting adventure as Frey unravels the mysteries of this new world and battles Tanta Sila to save it.
Who are the antagonists in Forspoken?
Forspoken's trailers have positioned the Tantas as the main antagonists of the game, with Tanta Sila being the strongest and most formidable of them all. However, it is revealed that the Tantas was once a council of benevolent sorcerers who used to rule over the land of Athia. Each Tanta had different responsibilities and worked together to keep society running smoothly. However, an unknown event corrupted the Tantas and caused them to become vicious tyrants.
Frey is considered a threat to the Tantas for some unknown reason, although it may be because she has the means to defeat them and is seen as a potential savior by the population of Athia. The game's trailers introduce Tanta Prav, who is much more unhinged than Sila, and lead to a boss fight between Frey and Prav. The game may hint that the Tantas is simply the face of a larger unseen enemy that was responsible for their corruption.
Tanta Sila was once the "Tanta of Strength" and commanded Athia's army before an event known as the "Break", which may have caused her to become a militaristic despot. Tanta Prav was the "Tanta of Justice" and served as a judge-like figure before the Break, but now serves as a callous executioner with a warped sense of justice. More information about the Tantas and other characters in Forspoken will be revealed as the game's release date approaches.
