E3 2021: 20 Huge Video Game Announcements You Need To Know

5. A Plague Tale: Requiem Is Coming In 2022

Long-standing rumours that a sequel to cult hit A Plague Tale: Innocence is in development were confirmed by Microsoft, with a cinematic teaser revealing the follow-up, A Plague Tale: Requiem.

The teaser doesn't give much away at all, beyond confirming the game will once again follow prior protagonists Amicia and Hugo on another journey, and there will once again be rats. Lots and lots of rats.

That's all you need to know, really - if it can match the artistry, emotion, and refreshingly modest scope of the original, it should be a worthy sequel.

A Plague Tale: Requiem lands on PC and Xbox Series X/S sometime in 2022, and will launch on Xbox Game Pass the very same day.
