In
A Plague Tale: Innocence, you play as Amicia, a young woman who has to take care of her younger brother, Hugo. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey to save the former’s life in the ruthless world of 14th century France. Unfortunately, their great adventure won't spare any of them, with the Inquisition's soldiers and swarms of rats incarnating the Black Death trying to kill the brave siblings.
In the given context, it's not hard to guess that
Innocence is more similar to
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice than
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, with pretty depressing – and maybe even almost philosophical – undertones. Considering that Asobo Studio's recent project is currently sitting at a highly respectable 81% score on Metacritic, it's safe to say that the French developer's experiment is a successful one.
Publisher Focus Home Interactive has released an all-new trailer for
A Plague Tale, and it might very well be one of the best videos you'll see today. Featuring Sean Bean's touching take on William Blake's famous
The Little Boy Lost poem and strikingly beautiful visuals, said trailer is quite an experience.
Without further ado, be sure to take a look at the brand-new
A Plague Tale: Innocence trailer below:
