14 DAY TRIAL // If you've played through A Plague Tale: Innocence, the game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Home Interactive, you might be wondering what could possibly be next for Amicia and Hugo, the two children running from the Inquisition and a terrible plague affecting the whole France.
Well, it looks like Asobo Studio has plans for a sequel, so even if we won't have another story about Amicia and Hugo, perhaps the French developer will focus on a different set of characters. However, since this will be tagged as a sequel, it should have some sort of direct link with Innocence.
Anyway, Focus Home Interactive hasn't yet confirmed that Asobo Studio is working on a sequel, but French website XboxSquad claims the developer might have a nice surprise for A Plague Tale fans. The studio is reportedly working on a sequel to their first game, which is scheduled for reveal in 2020 but won't be released until 2022.
When contacted by Eurogamer, Focus Home Interactive didn't confirm nor denied that Asobo Studio is working on A Plague Tale 2. You can find below the publisher's full statement:
"Focus Home Interactive and Asobo are very proud of the critical and public reception of A Plague Tale: Innocence, and the sales. We're delighted to have received a solid number of awards and nominations, including for Best Narrative at the Game Awards next week.
We want to pursue our efforts to make sure the game gets even more attention from players and we will thus keep promoting that title as it deserves. Of course, we announced last year we are partnering with Asobo for a future project but never confirmed if it was a sequel to A Plague Tale or not - and will give more details on that title when the right time comes."
Although the information hasn't been confirmed, it doesn't come as a surprise that Focus Home Interactive has a sequel in the works of one of its most successful titles of 2019. Here is hoping that the game will be launched sooner rather than later.
