Awaiting the release of A Plague Tale: Requiem, developers at Asobo Studio teased a focused look at Amicia’s crossbow with a short new trailer.
The crossbow, along with the slingshot, stands as a pivotal tool in the game. It lets the heroine move through hostile territory quietly, taking down foes without a fuss, or it can be loaded with an incendiary bolt to force enemies into a painful retreat. Beyond combat, the weapon plays a key role in solving puzzles: the trailer shows Amicia tying a rope to a bolt and shooting at a fragile structure to trigger a chain of events. This mechanic highlights the delicate balance between stealth, strategy, and environment manipulation that players will navigate throughout the adventure.
The trailer arrives after the studio shared the PC system requirements for the sequel, giving fans a sense of the performance targets needed for a smooth experience. A previous overview of the first installment remains a useful point of reference for those curious about how the narrative and gameplay evolve in the new entry. A Plague Tale: Requiem is set to release on October 18 for PC, Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5. Xbox Game Pass members will be able to download the game at no extra cost as part of their subscription, providing quick access for subscribers who want to jump into Amicia’s latest journey right away.
