A new A Plague Tale game from publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio has seemingly leaked early. A teaser trailer was spotted in a now deleted Threads post from the publisher’s account. The post was likely for the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase. The trailer reveals that the game follows Sophia from A Plague Tale: Requiem in an “original Story”. In the game, players must “unravel ancient secrets and confront a mythical creature at the heart of a devastating curse.”
A Plague Tale: Requiem details:
New Horizons and New Tricks
Embark on Hugo and Amicia’s next journey and venture south of 14th century France, before setting sail to a mysterious island out in the Mediterranean Sea. Brave a terrible fate and find a cure for Hugo’s illness thanks to Amicia’s new resources—including the use of alchemy to manipulate fire and the long-distance power of a crossbow, but also her cunning use of terrain and ability to wrestle out of an enemy’s grasp. Choose to strike from the shadow or to unleash hell, with the help of Hugo’s new powers: to perceive surrounding enemies’ movements while moving stealthily, and to manipulate hordes of rats to decimate entire squads of soldiers.
Play a Demo at Gamescom
Attendees will get to play one of the first chapters of the game at Gamescom from August 24 to 28. The public will find a demo at Microsoft’s booth (Hall 8.1 Stand B-051 to C-058). It will offer the Gamescom visitors the opportunity to play the same level shown at the TriBeCa Festival for those who missed it online last June.
Another demo will be shared with the press attending Gamescom, letting them experience the level seen in the Extended Gameplay Trailer hands on.
The Tale Behind the Game
Finally, Focus Entertainment launches its “In Focus” behind-the-scenes video series on August 30, sharing exclusive interviews with developers from Asobo Studio, the team behind A Plague Tale: Requiem.
