- 8 AM Pacific Time (Los Angeles, Vancouver)
- 9 AM Mountain Time (Edmonton, Boise)
- 10 AM Central Time (Nashville, Houston)
- 11 AM Eastern Time (Toronto, New York)

Preorder Bonuses For Forspoken
If you manage to preorder Forspoken before these times, you can get a bunch of DLC content. The Elite Cloak gives Frey an attack boost while a healing item is used. The Spectra Combo Necklace provides a higher probability of knocking down foes as you unleash parkour attacks. Lastly, the Overclock Nails allow Frey to recover support music faster when surge magic is fully charged. Each of these will provide a buff in battle. It's not as cool as a Noctis-inspired cloak or a Sora-based wig, but hey, it's something.
There is also a Digital Deluxe Edition, which comes at an extra cost, but may be worth your patronage. It has a digital mini artbook, a digital mini soundtrack, a summer-bound prequel DLC called "In Tanta We Trust," and early access to the prequel story as well.
Hopefully, Forspoken will be worth the price of entry. Something that gives confidence is that the cast has some Hollywood talent within it like the highly acclaimed The Quarry.
