Focus Home Interactive has unveiled an 8-minute excerpt of A Plague Tale: Innocence, which shows direct gameplay of Amicia and Hugo's emotional adventure through plague, war and other misfortunes of medieval France. In this level, the heroine heads towards the University, moving stealthily, solving mini-puzzles and actively using the environment to her advantage along the way.
We are shown how Amicia uses a stone and a sling to knock down the corpse of an executed man and distract the rats, allowing him to make his way through the terrible execution site; how she distracts enemies to move forward; and how she eliminates the soldiers. The heroine also uses fire and special devices of the Inquisition to pass through hordes of rats or direct animals at her opponents.
In the process, Amicia actively collects various materials and creates useful things from them. Collecting and crafting items clearly plays an important role in the game: sometimes there are even workbenches that allow you to carry out more complex work and create, for example, larger bags for equipment.
The girl actively comments on what is happening (mostly what she directly encounters at one time or another), talking to herself. Some of her words can be considered hints, when, for example, she says that she cannot pass through a place infested with rats or suggests finding another way to the cemetery by running into a closed gate.
As the developers note, the video presents only a small part of what awaits the players and where Amiciyaβs observation, ingenuity and skill in making objects will come in handy. In this level she is not accompanied by Hugo, who will also help in passing many game moments.
A Plague Tale: Innocence will be released on May 14th for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Those interested can place a pre-order ( is 1499 rubles). Users who purchase the game in advance will have access to exclusive bonuses in the form of three additional coats of arms and costumes for Amicia and Hugo. For physical pre-orders (consoles only), bonuses vary by region.
