The Game Awards 2021 just showcased the official gameplay trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to Focus Home Interactive's A Plague Tale: Innocence. A Plague Tale: Requiem has been given a 2022 release date, but with no concrete information on specifics. Fans, on their part, hope that it arrives in the first half of the new year.
A Plague Tale: Innocence was highly praised for its innovative storytelling set in 14th century Aquitaine, France during the Hundred Years' War. The bond between brother-sister duo Amicia and Hugo is the focal crux of the story. The two come under threat from both the French Inquisition and the Black Plague.
Innocence managed to capture the imagination of countless players for showcasing the plague and shedding light on how it affects society at large. This was something that echoed the present reality of the pandemic for the players. Special praise was given to the depiction of the rats on the screen.
