In the upcoming sequel of A Plague Tale, Amicia and Hugo de Rune are at a turning point in their lives. The anticipated IP was recently a topic of conversation with a thrilling trailer during Summer Game Fest. And now we have a complete insight on the game and a release date!
If you haven’t played the game before, let me briefly introduce A Plague Tale: Innocence. The story is set during Medieval Times, and a royal family is being chased because the youngest son appears to have something special that others want. Amicia, the eldest sister, finds herself in the middle of an attack and must protect her brother Hugo from the people after him. But that’s not it. To stay alive, both siblings must surpass a series of challenges, obstacles, and many plague-infested rats.
Even though the first part ended with a very obvious cliffhanger, it was still a mystery if there could be a second part and what it would be about. Now we have all the details about A Plague Tale: Requiem. The game will be released on October 18 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass for Console, PC, and Cloud. And good news, you can pre-order your copy today!
Here is an overview of A Plague Tale: Requiem:
The brother-sister relationship was central to Innocence. Amicia and Hugo didn’t know each other well at the beginning of the game, and along with their survival, their complicated but thriving affection for each other was at stake. They both try to find their place, with Amicia growing more and more protective of her brother.
The idea for the sequel was to keep these themes alive while introducing new ones, each with its own set of conflicts and emotions.
Our heroes will face their inner conflicts together with external ones. To begin with, they will discover a new part of France, Provence, which will offer new sights and sensations, leading them to believe in a kind of paradise. Unfortunately, the harsh medieval reality inevitably catches up, and their hopes vanish before they can get too comfortable.
When Requiem begins, no one is after the de Runes. This allows them to go and face adversity head-on. Whispers of an island linked to Hugo’s fate will have them move on to more, unexpected territories. Amicia and Hugo will be led to act to the limits of morality, and their friends from yesterday could be their enemies of tomorrow…
