Looking at least as good as the first game, A Plague Tale Requiem talks about its lifespan. Will this episode be longer? Won’t it take too long?
One of the most anticipated games of 2022, along with God of War Ragnarok and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, A Plague Tale Requiem reveals how long the news of Amicia and Hugo will last.
An average lifespan for A Plague Tale Requiem
Will this new installment be more than A Plague Tale Innocence? It could be good. In an interview for PLAY MagazineKevin Pinson, lead level designer at Asobo Studio, estimates the lifespan of A Plague Tale Requiem at 16 to 18 hours (via power adapter). In his opinion, not a filler like other single-player games to artificially lengthen the experience, but a duration that fits the story the team wanted to tell.
It’s all about pace, there’s no filler, and we didn’t try to drag out the game because we had to.. Our publisher, Focus Interactive, encourages us to choose the length of game we want and the story we want to tell. We don’t aim for a specific number of hours. This is something we don’t consider when designing the game
. Since we are a small team of 70 people, we have to make drastic decisions.
How does this sequel compare to the previous part? To retrace the story, A Plague Tale Innocence could be ready around 10am and 4pm overall to wrap it all up. If Kevin Pinson only spoke for the script from 4pm to 6pm then the lifespan would be much longer.
A Plague Tale Requiem is out October 18th on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and until then, have our first impressions of it.
