A Plague Tale: Innocence is finally coming out on May 14th, so we will definitely learn a lot more about Asobo Studio's first original video game in a while (the French studio co-developed
Fuel, The Crew, and
ReCore) in the coming months. In
Innocence, you will play as brave siblings Amicia and Hugo, witnessing their uneven struggle through the heart of the ruthless world of 14th century France.
Thanks to Gamersyde Official, we can take a closer look at the upcoming title's core gameplay mechanics in over 20 minutes of pure gameplay footage. To say that
Innocence is strikingly beautiful would be an understatement, and the game not only looks great, but also plays well, according to first hands-on impressions, with some critics comparing
A Plague Tale to
Hellblade: Senua''s Sacrifice.
During their great escape, Amicia and Hugo will face the uncontrollable rats swarm (with up to 5,000 rats displayed at once!), and judging from the aforementioned footage, the game's engine doesn't seem to have any major problems with frame-rate, feeling like a steady 30FPS game. Be sure to take a closer look at the spectacular, but also deadly, world of this particular
Plague Tale down below:
A Plague Tale: Innocence, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, tells the grim story of two siblings fighting together for survival in the darkest hours of History. This new video game from Asobo Studio sends you on an emotional journey through the 14th century France, with gameplay combining adventure, action and stealth, supported by a compelling story.
