Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have released a new gameplay overview trailer for A Plague Tale: Requiem, giving players a chance to see what awaits them in this highly anticipated sequel, check it out.

When you get the game you will 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.

The game is dated for release on October 18 and is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC and in Cloud Version on Switch, though that latter version is unlikely to launch in Australia. The game will also launch into Xbox and PC Game Pass on release day.
