A Plague Tale

With the title's release date approaching, Asobo Studio is starting to show more material related to the studio's next title: A Plague Tale: Requiem. After the success of the first chapter of the series, A Plague Tale: Innocence and continuing to collaborate with the publisher Focus Home Interactive, this sequel seems to have all the credentials to replicate the excellent results obtained by its predecessor.



In A Plague Tale: Requiem, we will find ourselves following the journey of Hugo and Amicia to the 14th century southern France before setting sail to a mysterious island in the Mediterranean Sea. The path hides a terrible fate and players will have to find a cure for Hugo's disease thanks to Amicia's new resources. Among these, we will have the use of alchemy to manipulate fire, the long-range power of a crossbow, its cunning use of the terrain and its ability to fight to escape the grip of enemies. With the help of Hugo's new powers, we will be able to choose whether to strike while hiding in the shadows or face dangers openly. These new abilities, in fact, allow the protagonist to perceive the movements of the surrounding enemies as she stealthily moves and manipulate hordes of mice to decimate entire squads of soldiers.| ); }
