A Plague Tale Game Series

A series of action adventure games with stealth elements, created and developed by the French development team Asobo Studio. The first installment of the series, i.e. A Plague Tale: Innocence, debuted in 2019. Its artistic and commercial success led its publisher, Focus Entertainment (formerly known as Focus Home Interactive), to give the green light to develop its sequel. The second part of the series, titled A Plague Tale: Requiem, players could check out in 2022. The production repeated the success of its predecessor, and although the developers argued that the story they had told was a closed whole, it looked like the series would live to see further installments.
