While Tanta Sila faces her enemies (Frey included) with brute force, our newly unveiled Tanta Prav takes a decidedly different approach. For example, for Tanta Sila, who represents the virtue of strength, Matsuzawa envisioned her dress flailing as she loses herself in battle, so we went with a flamenco dancer-esque dress and an aggressive red color thematically. The color choice for each Tanta was important, too, as we wanted this to signify the corruption of the virtue that each Tanta represents. We have an amazing team of designers at Luminous Productions who worked on each of the Tantas. But, unfortunately, she has now become a cruel despot who trusts nothing but her own skill in battle, mercilessly eliminating any and all who offend her. She fought on the front line, displaying unparalleled prowess in battle, and was revered by the people for it. Tanta Sila is the “Tanta of Strength” who once commanded Athian troops to protect the land from outside threats. The Tantas were a central theme of the game, so it’s not a stretch to say that all the art in Forspoken was designed around them-their virtues and their corruption, their beautiful, yet terrifying, appearances.

The art director on Forspoken, Yuuki Matsuzawa, played a critical role in conceiving the concept of the Tantas at the beginning of the project, which has remained consistent throughout development. Nailing the design concept of the Tantas was key to establishing Forspoken’s entire look, feel, and tone. Played by The Walking Dead’s Pollyanna McIntosh, you can see Tanta Prav in action in the latest trailer for Forspoken, which premiered at The Game Awards earlier tonight. We’re excited to unveil the second and very wicked Tanta who stands in Frey’s way: Tanta Prav. Unfortunately for Frey, there’s no going back home to New York without defeating them first. But after being accused of trespassing on her territory by Tanta Sila, Frey becomes an enemy in their eyes. As the most powerful sorceresses in Athia, they pose a dangerous threat to Frey.īeing who she is, when Frey first arrives in Athia, she has very little interest in the Tantas. However, without warning, the former protectors mysteriously became oppressors, becoming aggressive and hateful. They were once beloved by the people of Athia, who enjoyed lives of plenty under their guidance. Each embodies a different virtue and possesses a unique strength.

The Tantas are the former rulers of Athia.
