‘A Plague Tale: Innocence’ Sequel Reportedly in Development
Fans of Asobo Studio’s A Plague Tale: Innocence look to have more in store soon, if the rumour mill is concerned. According to according to French website XboxSquad, citing a “verified source,” the website claims that publisher Focus Home Interactive has commissioned a sequel to be released in 2022, with an official announcement planned for sometime in 2020.
However, this next part is where the murkiness comes in. XboxSquad claims that it contacted Focus Home Interactive, whose chief operating officer confirmed their information. However, when Eurogamer contacted the company, a representative did not deny the report, but said that it will talk about Asobo Studio’s next game “when the right time comes.”
A Plague Tale: Innocence (which we loved) is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Developer Offworld Industries and Knights Peak are still at it with Starship Troopers: Extermination dropping Update 11 for the 16-player co-op FPS, which sports new content additions, performance and optimization improvements as well as bug fixes. Oh, and you can also now take showers.
Yes, the Field Shower is a new buildable structure available for every Build Zone. Once constructed, the Field Shower provides Troopers with access to battlefield sanitation facilities. A shower will extinguish a burning Trooper, as well as provide a method of Health restoration.
Completing the full duration Federation Standardized Shower will also provide Troopers with a combat performance boost. Troopers who have recently showered will move slightly faster, jump higher, climb better, shoot more accurately, and gain additional Morale XP.
The update also introduces a series of rotating Critical Dispatches designed to support the war effort and reward continued service to the Federation. Additionally, every deployment cycle, Troopers will receive a fresh set of Daily Dispatches generated by Fleet Command. Troopers can do one refresh of the missions list per 24-hours. Exterminatation currently has 47 Critical Dispatches in rotation, with more to be added. Successful completion of Daily Missions will grant additional combat experience and contribute toward long-term DSV Service Record milestones.
In addition, the DSV Service Record System has been added to permanently document a Trooper’s military career and recognize exceptional contributions to the war effort. Every confirmed combat action, operational deployment, battlefield specialization, and successful mission contributes toward a growing Service Record reviewed by Federal Command. As Service Record milestones are completed, Troopers will earn Career Experience, advancing their standing within the Mobile Infantry.
For those wanted cosmetics, There’s a new Supporter Cosmetic Pack in The Tesla Giants Supporter Pack, allowing players to show their support for the Tesla Giants, the legendary Jump Ball team from Zander Barcalow’s high school. Inspired by the team’s dominance on the court, this cosmetic pack includes a Helmet Visor, Armor Uniform, Helmet Decal and Weapons Skin inspired by the Giants.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is currently available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
