The game was originally revealed under the working name of " Project Athia" during Sony's State of Play livestream presentation of June 2020. Allison Rymer worked as the main connective tissue between the initial story-breaking and world-building that they developed in 2018 and the more fully realized story that has developed since then.

Whitta worked with Rymer, who he said was "an incredible asset" in the writer's room. With writers joining at different times throughout the development process, Whitta didn't work directly with Hennig or Stashwick who picked up the "story baton" after his work was completed to develop the story from there. With the scale and ambition of the project other writers were brought on board to help with the creative process of shaping the story and setting of Forspoken. With some initial visuals to work with, Whitta was tasked with taking Square Enix and Luminous Productions' initial points of inspiration and shaping them into a story and fantasy world that would later become the building blocks for Frey's adventure.
