A Plague Tale: Requiem is a narrative-driven, action-adventure survival horror stealth video game in development by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is the direct sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, and sees players embark with an older Amicia de Rune and her brother, Hugo, on an intense new quest for hope, as a terrifying curse hunts them down.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is scheduled to release in 2022 for Microsoft Windows, the PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. The game will be available through Xbox Game Pass from day one for consoles, Windows, and Cloud.
After escaping their devastated homeland, Amicia and Hugo travel far south, to new regions and vibrant cities. There, they attempt to start a new life and control Hugo's curse. But, when Hugo's powers reawaken, death and destruction return in a flood of devouring rats. Forced to flee once more, the siblings place their hopes in a prophesized island that may hold the key to saving Hugo.
After the original game's finale to a story of resilience, players will embark on the journey's second chapter, following Amicia and her brother, Hugo, with a touch of maturity on a perilous new quest, doing whatever it takes to survive a brutal, uncaring world.
- Amicia de Rune - The protagonist. The eldest child of the de Rune household, trained by her father in the art of hunting, who has had little contact with her brother while they were growing up, though Amicia knows little of what his illness even is. Following the incursion of the Inquisition into their home, she and her brother are forced to flee through the war-torn, plague-ridden, and rat-infested countryside of France.
- Hugo de Rune - The deuteragonist. Amicia's junior by ten years, who suffers from a congenital malady and has lived the entirety of his five years of life in jaundiced isolation. Hugo has little knowledge of the outside world, but he prefers its dangers to his previous confinement. When catastrophe has struck, it falls on his sister to seek a cure for his "illness," while the Inquisition hunts him down.
- Beatrice de Rune - An alchemist and noblewoman by marriage, she is the wife of Robert de Rune and mother of Amicia and Hugo.
- Lucas - An apprentice to Laurentius, who taught him alchemy and medicine. When his ailing mentor is killed in an accident, he aims to cure Hugo himself.
Combat plays a more pronounced role in Requiem. The characters will use a variety of tools and supernatural powers in their struggle for survival.
On September 21, 2021, Focus Entertainment initiated a call to the community to test A Plague Tale: Requiem through two test sessions. The duration of each of the "halves," according to classified information, is eight hours; thus, the entire storyline of A Plague Tale: Requiem can be completed in sixteen hours.
A Plague Tale: Requiem was announced on June 13, 2021. A first look at the trailer appeared at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase.
A Plague Tale: Requiem will be skipping previous generation hardware and coming exclusively to next-generation platforms, namely the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC. A Plague Tale: Requiem will also be released on Nintendo Switch as a Cloud Version. In addition, Microsoft has confirmed that the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
