Olivier Deriviere, the award-winning composer responsible for the acclaimed soundtracks of the 2008
Alone in the Dark reboot,
Remember Me, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag — Freedom Cry, Get Even, and last year's
Vampyr, will officially score Asobo Studio's
A Plague Tale: Innocence. While
Innocence is one of those "
indie triple-A" video games made with a tight budget, its ambitions are impressively big.
In
A Plague Tale, you will play as siblings Amicia and Hugo as they struggle through the heart of the ruthless world of 14th century France. On their way out, they face the uncontrollable rats swarm (with up to 5,000 rats displayed at once!) that's incarnating the Black Death. During their journey, they will have to learn to trust each other, discover their true purpose and expose a dark, terrible secret.
Focus will highlight the hard work of the French development team in a brand new behind-the-scenes webseries, giving you a chance to learn more about the Bordeaux-based studio, young actors playing the main roles (Charlotte McBurney and Logan Hannan), and much, much more. Be sure to take a closer look at the first three episodes of this
A Plague Tale: Innocence "BTS" series 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.
