A Plague Tale: Requiem Is Out On Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, Game Pass In 2022

A short teaser for A Plague Tale: Requiem was shown during the Xbox and Bethesda E3 2021 showcase, and it paints a horrifying picture for the disease that nearly wiped out all of Europe.

The trailer consists almost entirely of a single shot of rats moving down a city's alley. Rather than just a few rats, however, it's essentially a tsunami of rats, and we also see a quick shot of people getting stabbed stealthily in the neck. As it concludes, a young girl opens her eyes in horror, as if she were imagining a potential future.

The game is the successor to A Plague Tale: Innocence, which released back in 2019 and blended disturbing world-building with stealth gameplay. The plague rats were a big factor in that game as well, as you had to both avoid succumbing to the flurries of rodents and sometimes use them against enemies. It appears Requiem will follow in its footsteps, albeit with a shiny coat of paint if played on the newer systems or PC. It's the game's "second chapter" according to Asobo Studio, and once again follows Amicia and Hugo.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is out for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC in 2022, and it will be available on launch day through Xbox Game Pass.
