Rumors: Forspoken's budget could have been over $100 million, but that didn't help the game become a success

The Forspoken release cannot be called successful: terrible reviews on Metacritic (only 3.5 points from players) and not the best

gaming solutions have led to the fact that the game can already be purchased at a discount on the PlayStation Store, although the release took place in January 2023. But what was the budget for the game?

What else is known

According to the former developer's LinkedIn pageLuminous Productions, Forspoken's budget could be more than $100,000,000. For AAA games, this is not the highest figure. For comparison, GTA V cost $137 million to develop, and Red Dead Redemption 2 &#8211; more than $170 million. But these games have become cult. And Forspoken is unlikely to ever receive this status. In addition, Square Enix has already stated that sales of the game were not the best.

For those who are not in the know

After the release of Forspoken, Luminous Productions took over Square Enix and the studio no longer exists. During its 5 year history, Luminous managed to release only one game.
