October is a month packed with big releases, and one of the titles gamers are looking out for is A Plague Tale: Requiem. It serves as the sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, which follows Amicia and Hugo as they attempt to survive a terrible rat plague. Although stealth gameplay will be making a return, things should progress a little quicker thanks to Amicia's new crossbow.

Amicia and Hugo are far weaker than soldiers of the Inquisition, so they have to slink into the shadows and use tricks to gain the upper hand. The crossbow should help Amicia make light work of her enemies, though it may have terrible effects on her psyche. She will need everything she can get her hands on because A Plague Tale: Requiem will have her facing bigger dangers than ever.

Players are introduced to Amicia and her little brother Hugo in A Plague Tale: Innocence. The game was developed by Asobo Studio and released in 2019, and it is set in France during the 14th century. After the Inquisition rolls around looking for Hugo, Amicia and her brother are forced to flee. This is no easy task, as there is a terrible rat plague that has the streets swarming with deadly, disease-ridden rodents. Amicia has to protect her little brother from danger while attempting to figure out why the Inquisition is so interested in him.

Amicia is a regular woman, and she has no superpowers to help her out. However, she is pretty skilled with a slingshot, and she uses it to eliminate members of the Inquisition while she hides in the shadows. As Innocence progresses, she gets better with her slingshot, and she uses it for other purposes, such as to extinguish flames and light up
