A Plague Tale: Requiem announced for Switch, planned as a cloud game

Focus Home Interactive and Asobo Studio today announced A Plague Tale: Requiem, and fans might be surprised to hear that it will be seeing a release on Switch. The game is taking the same route as Hitman 3 and Control, meaning it will be offered through the cloud only.

Here’s some information from the press release as well as a trailer:

We are excited to finally bring to light A Plague Tale: Requiem, sequel to Asobo Studio and Focus Home Interactive critically acclaimed A Plague Tale: Innocence.

After the original game’s epic finale to a heartbreaking story of resilience, players will embark on the emotional journey’s second chapter. They will follow Amicia and her brother Hugo on a perilous new quest, doing whatever it takes to survive a brutal, uncaring world.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is the direct sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence. Previously, players lived the grim tale of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo, in a heartrending adventure through the darkest hours of history. Hunted by Inquisition soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats, Amicia and Hugo came to know and trust each other, as they struggled to survive against overwhelming odds and fight to find their place in the world.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is slated for a 2022 release.
