Fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming A Plague Tale: Requiem have a lot to be excited about, as worldwide release times have now been announced. A Plague Tale: Requiem is the follow-up to its critically lauded predecessor, A Plague Tale: Innocence, the success of which has set expectations high for the sequel.

Asobo Studio is a French development team that has, in the past, focused largely on lesser known titles and video game adaptation of Pixar films, aside from its support role on the time-bending Quantum Break in 2016. A Plague Tale: Innocence was a departure for the team and one they surely don't regret. The game received positive reviews and became a cult classic among fans. It even won for Outstanding Story-Rich Game at the Steam Awards and was nominated for Best Narrative at the Game Awards in 2019. So, needless to say, fans have been looking forward to a follow-up for quite some time.
