A Plague Tale: Requiem debuts on October 18, and a fresh story trailer sets the stage for what audiences can expect as Amicia and Hugo confront the trials ahead. The video dives into the emotional weight of the journey and the perilous world they must navigate, highlighting not only the battles that await but also the gravity of family bonds under intense strain.
In the game’s second chapter, the siblings travel to a mysterious island with the aim of breaking the Hugo family curse. The trailer underscores the growing danger surrounding Hugo as his powers intensify, while city streets twist into a labyrinth of threats swarming with rats. The tone blends intimate, character-driven moments with high-stakes action that tests their endurance and resolve.
Early previews estimate that completing Requiem will require roughly 15 to 18 hours, depending on the player’s approach to puzzles, exploration, and optional side tasks. By contrast, Innocence, the first installment, offers around 12 to 13 hours of gameplay when players take on optional challenges and additional objectives. These numbers reflect a larger, more expansive world where choices influence outcomes and pacing shifts with each act of the story. [citation: Publisher]
