A Plague Tale: Requiem Gameplay Trailer Is All About the Crossbow

Today Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio revealed a new trailer of their upcoming stealth action-adventure game A Plague Tale: Requiem.

The trailer focuses on one of the main weapons available to you in the game, the crossbow.

While skewering enemies with heavy bolts is certainly the crossbow’s primary utility, you can also set them on fire, or attach ropes to targets that can then be used creatively.

You can check out the video below.

A Plague Tale: Requiem releases on October 18, 2022, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

It’s the sequel of A Plague Tale: Innocence, which was released in 2019 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and then in 2021 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.

You can see more of A Plague Tale: Requiem in another trailer from the not-E3 Xbox and Bethesda Showcase. Focus also published a video in which we heard the developers talking in-depth about the project, and one showcasing an extensive gameplay overview.

On the other hand, the story trailer certainly isn’t for those with a weak stomach (or those who fear rats).
