As we draw closer to being able to control scourges of rats in A Plague Tale: Requiem, releasing this October, developer Asobo Studio and publisher Focus Entertainment have released an all-new gameplay overview trailer, highlight five-plus minutes of the journey ahead of siblings Amicia and Hugo as they set out once again to ward off incredible evil and overcome insurmountable odds.



This is just one of a planned series of video releases highlighting the game and its development.

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.

Stunning and deadly in equal measure, A Plague Tale: Requiem looks set to expand upon the strengths of the first outing, while dipping toes into new aspects of gameplay and narrative design, making this one of the most anticipated story-driven titles of tail end of 2022.

A Plague Tale: requiem is due to launch on October 18 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
