The news continues the success of the series. In 2019, A Plague Tale: Innocence climbed to No. 9 on the UK bestseller list, with more than a million total sales in just over a year. A Plague Tale: Requiem has soared to the same level in just one month.
Why this is the case may come down to a number of factors. On the one hand, the reviews for Requiem for a Plague Tale were very positive. Not only has it been praised in our own glowing reviews, but the game has a Metacritic score of 85. An established quality of Innocence, the sequel probably has a lot of hype around it.
Most importantly, October is a month without much competition for A Plague Tale: Innocence. Scorn is great as the only narrative-centric game, but lacks the AAA appeal and the fanbase of A Plague Tale: Requiem. Overwatch 2 is a controversial multiplayer shooter. Gotham Knights is masturbation.
You can imagine how the team at Focus Entertainment felt. Not only does it exceed the standards it sets itself, but it does so with brilliant color. It’s always nice to see these big narrative adventures do well in the current situation, with massive battle royales and new live-service games all the time. We just want to know how long it will take for the game to shoot over 2 million.
