In Forspoken, Frey is a rough-and-tumble orphan from the mean streets of New York City who gets sucked into Athia, a magical world that immediately tries to kill her. “I think audiences might not be so used to seeing that.” “This is such an extraordinary game that has come out with this amazing protagonist who’s so bold, so unapologetic, so reluctant in the best way possible,” she said. She also understands that folks’ reaction to Frey - sometimes calling her mean and shitty - stems from the fact that Frey isn’t like other video game protagonists. “I love the gaming community for how committed they are to really getting in depth for each game that they play,” Balinska said over Zoom.
In my interview with her, she told me she understands gamers are a passionate lot and that she appreciates that about them.
