While A Plague Tale: Innocence might be one of the best games that everyone missed in 2019, a bunch more horror game fans jumped on board in 2020. A Plague Tale: Innocence hit a milestone number of copies sold on July 1st, 2020.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a horror/stealth game that revolves around Amicia, a young woman, and her brother trying to survive the Hundred Years' War as her lands are invaded. The tale is full of amazing medieval history, scary, emotional, and traumatic, giving players a deep connection. It was released in May 2019 to big praise by critics, even if the sales numbers didn't originally match the critical hype.
This month, A Plague Tale: Innocence hit 1 million copies sold worldwide. Like many games that found their way to the Xbox Game Pass, A Plague Tale has gotten a lot of people talking recently, and it finally is starting to have the sales numbers to back up the hype.
With a sequel in the works, A Plague Tale: Innocence and devs Asobo Studio are on top of the world. There is a reason why this game won Outstanding Story-Rich Game from Steam in 2019, several Pégases Awards in 2020, and has been nominated for an incredible amount of others. If anyone out there still hasn't picked up this game for themselves, it's time to sink into A Plague Tale. There's a reason why the Xbox Game Pass official Twitter labeled this horror game "a masterpiece."
A Plague Tale: Innocence is available for PC, PS4, and on Xbox One.
