If we suspected that the Game Awards ceremony would give AAA from across the Atlantic a place of honor, Frenchman Asobo used the ceremony to unveil the first gameplay trailer for A Plague Tale Requiem.
The rumor had been circulating since late 2019, but it wasn’t until E3 2021 that the return of Hugo and Amicia in A Plague Tale Requiem, the sequel to A Plague Tale Innocence, was to be officially announced.
Here are the organs that are doing it again
Within a minute and a half, the French from Asobo Studio were able to demonstrate the new dimension they want to offer the survivor duo. As if to clarify the intentions behind the subtitle of this new episode, A Plague Tale Requiem invites us, with a quote from the poem of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson, to set sail and leave the narrow streets of the first episode onto the open sea.
On the run from their painful past, Amicia and her brother travel south, to distant lands and their trading cities. In a desperate fight for survival, slay the shadows or unleash the underworld with an arsenal of supernatural equipment and powers … and discover the price it costs to save your loved ones.
Requiem your neighbor
While the new trailer (and the arrival of a new protagonist) raises many questions, Editor Focus Entertainment is taking advantage of this spotlight to offer the first chapter of A Plague Tale Innocence for free! Indeed, the most impatient gamers will be able to discover the first 50 minutes of the 2019 adventure through the Focus Store online store to find out why Hugo and Amicia’s first adventures managed to enchant a good part of the editors of Spieleblog. .
A Plague Tale: Requiem arrives in 2022 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X | S and expected in the cloud version on Switch.
