After the success of A Plague Tale: Innocence, fans are excited for the upcoming sequel to Asobo’s dark game. Now A Plague Tale: Requiem is set to release this October, and we have a new trailer that gives us an overview of the gameplay.
Watch this:
Here’s the official description:
Embark on Hugo and Amicia’s next journey and venture south of 14th century France, before setting sail to a mysterious island out in the Mediterranean Sea. Brave a terrible fate and find a cure for Hugo’s illness thanks to Amicia’s new resources—including the use of alchemy to manipulate fire and the long-distance power of a crossbow, but also her cunning use of terrain and ability to wrestle out of an enemy’s grasp. Choose to strike from the shadow or to unleash hell, with the help of Hugo’s new powers: to perceive surrounding enemies’ movements while moving stealthily, and to manipulate hordes of rats to decimate entire squads of soldiers.
The game looks pretty wild and definitely promises a lot of crazy visuals that harken to the older Assassin’s Creed games. Amicia has a lot of great tools in her kit, and it’s going to be wild watching how the game makes use of the swarms of rats carrying the plague.
I also have to say, with the Old Man/Young Girl tangeant being so prevalent with several games like The Last of Us and BioShock: Infinite, it’s kind of refreshing to see a tandem that is now a young girl with her much younger, rat-psychic brother.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is set to release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
