A Plague Tale: Requiem features on Xbox Bethesda Games Showcase with new gameplay trailer
A Plague Tale: Requiem is one of the most anticipated titles of 2022 that will continue the story of Amicia and Hugo, whom players met in A Plague Tale: Innocence.
Xbox Bethesda Games Showcase, a part of the ongoing Summer Game Fest 2022, featured a fresh new gameplay clip of the sequel, with Amicia in violent action.
A Plague Tale: Innocence came out in 2019 and was set in medieval France during the Hundred Years' War. Players followed the trial and struggles of the siblings, Amicia and Hugo, as they dealt with a world falling apart from the Black Death.
The narrative and mechanics of the game were received with positive reviews, and had players eagerly waiting for a sequel.
As the gameplay trailer's title, End of Innocence, states, the game is set to mark Amicia becoming more violent as she pays no heed to others telling her not to kill.
The clip continues to show her ruthlessly taking down one enemy after the other, saying, "I am tired of being afraid." She goes as far as pushing a soldier into the mass of rats and choking another while saying they are nothing to be scared of.
This is a marked turn from the protagonist that players knew back in the first game. There is a steadfast determination in her voice, the swing of her blade and on the tips of her arrows (yes, she now carries a crossbow). But similar to her first kill back in Innocence, it is likely that her acts of violence will take a toll on her.
The trailer ends with Amicia asking Hugo to "do it, quick." Hugo raises a fist and hugs the ground as the screen goes dark. The next frame shows a yellow tinted screen as the camera follows a horde of rats rushing towards the target, likely meaning players will have some ability to call and control the plague carriers.
