A Plague Tale: Innocence mainly focused on a story that featured two siblings trying to survive in a plague-filled world. With diseases spreading nationwide, people are trying their best to survive the pandemic that only ends with sickness and death.

In the first game, at the end, Amicia and Hugo are able to fight off the plague with the younger brother's power to control rats. However, in the new game's trailer it has been revealed that the plague is still around.

Even though the solution might be as simple as using Hugo's power to get rid of the plague again, the duo is faced with another threat. The more Hugo uses his power, the more it takes a toll on his life. Thus, Amicia and Hugo will be undertaking a journey to look for a mysterious island in an attempt to end Hugo's curse and the plague once and for all.
