A Plague Tale Innocence

A new IP from Asobo Studio, A Plague Tale: Innocence, was first revealed back at E3 2017. Since then we've had just a few additional looks at the game. Today marks the start of a behind the scenes video series that provides us with a look at what the game is all about and how the dev team is striving to give players a unique experience.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is currently in development for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This adventure focused title will offer a blend of action, adventure, and even some stealth gameplay. Amicia and her little brother Hugo are on the run from the Inquisition. Not only will they have to evade capture, but they are also trying to stay out of the way of supernatural swarms of rats that are spreading the plague throughout the land.

The first episode focuses on Amicia and Hugo, the two main characters of A Plague Tale: Innocence, and their relationship. These children encounter 14th century France in a similar way to the player, an unknown and dangerous place that they barely understand but must survive. As the realities of the world of adults press down on them, their familial love will be tested as they work together to overcome challenges from the rat plague and pursuing Inquisition alike.

This episode also introduces you to Charlotte McBurney and Logan Hannan, the young actors who provide voices for Amicia and Hugo. Both are immensely talented and have their own approach to and opinions of these realistic, troubled characters. As your constant companions through the adventure, their work is as vital as anyone’s to creating a moving, emotional experience that will stick with you long past the first playthrough.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is slated for release on May 14, 2019.
