With the release date to the sequel title getting closer, Asobo Studio is starting to show off more of their upcoming title A Plague Tale: Requiem. Following their successfully launched first title A Plague Tale: Innocence and continuing to work with the help of publisher Focus Home Interactive, this game is really looking to be as good as the first!

Embark on Hugo and Amicia’s next journey and venture south of 14th century France before setting sail to a mysterious island 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, the long-distance power of a crossbow, her cunning use of terrain, and her ability to wrestle out of an enemy’s grasp. Choose to strike from the shadows or unleash hell with the help of Hugo’s new powers: to perceive surrounding enemies’ movements while moving stealthily and manipulate hordes of rats to decimate entire squads of soldiers.

If you are lucky enough to make it to Gamescom this year, they will have a playable demo there for you to try out and play through one of the first chapters of the game.

A Plague Tale: Requiem will release October 18 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and in Cloud Version on Nintendo Switch. It will also be available on Game Pass for both Xbox and PC. If you’re as excited as I am, be sure to check out the collector’s edition they announced as well!
