A Plague Tale: Innocence Gamescom Gameplay Trailer Impresses

Previously shown behind closed doors at E3 2018, this gameplay sequence follows war orphans Amicia and her little brother Hugo as they attempt to escape the Inquisition by navigating their way through the ruins of a township gripped in the Hundreds Years’ War between the armies of France and England.

A survival and stealth driven affair, A Plague Tale’s assured presentation, high level of polish and unique setting all add up to a title that looks to demand our attention when it releases sometime in 2019.

Until then, we have both the new extended gameplay footage and the story synopsis of A Plague Tale: Innocence for you below.

The story of A Plague Tale begins in 1349. Rats swarm in uninterrupted waves throughout the territory of France. In the plague-ridden villages, countryside and battlefields, this uncontrollable and voracious mass advances relentlessly. The creatures devour everything in their path, men and animals alike, to satisfy the endless hunger of their ever-increasing numbers. In the midst of hundreds of piled corpses, hordes of rats teem over the bodies and leave little hope for Amicia and Hugo to escape with their lives – the faint glow of the flame Amicia holds appears to be the only thing that repels A Plague Tale: Innocence’s swarming menace.
