If Forspoken is a miss, and as I predict may happen, Spider-Man 2 slips to 2024, that would leave this as a pretty barren year for PS5 with only FFXVI to rely on. I’d previously cited Forspoken as one of the PS5’s three major console exclusives releasing this year alongside Final Fantasy XVI, also from Square Enix, and Spider-Man 2. “Actually, it’s not as bad as everyone’s saying” seems to be the main point of praise for it right now, which is not especially promising.

I would be surprised if there was some surge of fan support for the game to propel it to become a hit on PS5 and PC, but I suppose it’s too early to tell. However, I’m not sure Forspoken has any inborn advantages here like a fanbase devoted to Rick and Morty style humor.
