A Plague Tale: Innocence is finally coming home next month, and you’re probably wondering just what the heck this game is about. Developer Asobo Studio have your answer with this new gameplay trailer, as well as a summary of the game’s story.
Here’s that primer, via publisher Focus Home Interactive:
“A Plague Tale: Innocence premieres on May 14, taking you on an adventure through medieval, wartorn and plague-ridden France with siblings Amicia and Hugo. A new gameplay trailer showcases world-first footage of a brand new level, showing off a little more of what the game has to offer- careful use of the environment, puzzle-solving, and how light, darkness, and the rats are friend and foe in tandem. Amicia must make it to the University, past the Inquisition’s worst and through a town racked with chaos – all to find a glimmer of safety in this dark, brutal world.
This is just a taste of everything that awaits in the full-game, where your wits, your ability to explore, Amicia’s crafting skills, and her partnership with Hugo are all that will keep the pair alive. Hugo is not your own companion on this adventure, with those orphaned by the war and the sickness banding together to try to survive – will everyone manage to see the light of day once again?”
A Plague Tale: Innocence will be available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
