A Plague Tale: Requiem leads Edge 374’s preview special: a collection of 100 videogames to watch from this summer’s showcases
Asobo’s forthcoming sequel to 2019’s A Plague Tale: Innocence makes us grateful we can’t smell videogames. Exploring a place known simply as ‘the butcher’s district’, returning protagonist Amicia de Rune and her younger brother Hugo are forced to escape their pursuers while wading through a pit of blood, offal and goodness knows what else. As Kevin Choteau, the game’s director, puts it, “We always try to choose a place for its beauty, its uniqueness, then we add a layer of narration that will bring this very crude and sometimes horrific aspect.”
