The network is discussing the budget for the development of the unsuccessful action game Forspoken from Luminous Productions and Square Enix. Many analysts speculated that the game's budget was $75 million. It took Square Enix over $100 million.
According to Forspoken's lead writer, the actual budget is over a hundred million dollars. The cost of the game can be compared with The Callisto Protocol ($150 million). This amount includes only the development of the game, not including advertising, etc.
Despite the high costs, Forspoken failed miserably and is considered one of the most unprofitable games under Square Enix.
