It certainly has great talent at its wheel, including Star Wars Battlefront 2‘s Janina Gavankar as the villain Tanta Sila and Ella Balinska of the upcoming Resident Evil Netflix show as protagonist, Frey. Both Lenneth and Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria for PS2 would make great additions to the expanded PS Plus library, but fans will have to be sated by this move for now.įorspoken will be shown off more “later this summer,” which is sorely needed to help counter the bad taste of multiple delays and to help convey how its unique world and combat will be utilized. Valkyrie Elysium will arrive alongside a PS4/PS5 port of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, the PSP remaster of the PS1 original, which will be included in the Digital Deluxe edition or sold separately. This unexpected revival of a cult-classic franchise “draws on the richness of Norse mythology to present an original story set in a world on the brink of destruction.” A new trailer showcases the sequel (or reboot?)’s modernized combat, which has broken out of its turn-based roots, as well as a sampling of the allies the new Valkyrie heroine will recruit.

Sony recently saw the fanfare of Horizon Forbidden West, another exclusive, get cut short by the arrival of Elden Ring, a bigger, long-awaited blockbuster. Now that we know God of War Ragnarok is launching November 9, Square Enix and their “key partners”-likely Sony themselves-might be looking to get Forspoken out of its wake. While a series of delays isn’t a great look, this news may not be as grim as it sounds. ![]() First dated for May 24 of this year, Square Enix pushed it back to October 11 in March, and now it will miss 2022 altogether.
