A Plague Tale: Requiem is the second historical game set in the time of the Hundred Years War from Focus Entertainment and French developer Asobo Studio. Like A Plague Tale: Innocence before it, A Plague Tale: Requiem will feature a heavy amount of realism and historical accuracy despite being a fictional work. It will also feature Amicia as the main protagonist as she continues to protect her brother Hugo. However, from a new gameplay trailer shown at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, it seems there will be a few major differences in A Plague Tale: Requiem from it’s predecessor.

The trailer opens with some bodies hanging from a tree, letting viewers know they’re still in for a gritty and gory experience. Then, the perspective changes to show Amicia walking through some of the new environments players will encounter in A Plague Tale: Requiem. While this will at first appear familiar to fans of A Plague Tale: Innocence, Requiem quickly shows how it will turn up the action as a montage of Amicia killing enemies is shown.
Using a knife, a newly equipped crossbow, or even bombs, it seems Amicia is much more of a capable fighter than she was in A Plague Tale: Innocence. The story will perhaps focus on Amicia’s turn to violence as well, as throughout the trailer she can be heard saying that she is tired of being afraid and wants to show the Inquisition that they’re “nothing to be scared of.” From other pieces of gameplay and cutscenes shown at the Tribeca Games Festival, it seems that Amicia will go through a new journey of her own in A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Of course, alongside Amicia, her brother will also feature some new character developments. In the trailer shown at the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, he appears only for a short moment, but it appears that his powers of controlling the rats may become more prominent in A Plague Tale: Requiem. With so many new trailers and screenshots of A Plague Tale: Requiem, fans now are just waiting for an official release date.
A Plague Tale: Requiem will release on PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S in 2022.
