A Plague Tale: Requiem announced at Xbox’s E3 event for 2022

Microsoft has a rat. Actually, it has a lot of rats, as the publisher announced today during its E3 showcase that A Plague Tale: Requiem would be a launch day game for Xbox Game Pass in 2022 (along for PC and consoles).

A 2019 release for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, A Plague’s Tale: Innocence sold more than a million copies, which might surprise those who just judged it on its revolting rats. But those who played it found a good (albeit sometimes confusing tale) stealth adventure about two children (Amica and Hugo) facing a twisted Catholic priest using an Inquisition to spread rats (and his own agenda) in France during the 1300s, one with elements of alchemy and the supernatural. It’s from Asobo Studio, and its publisher is Focus Home Interactive.
