A sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, A Plague Tale: Requiem is a stealth game with survival horror elements set in 14th-century France. It is set during the Hundred Year's War and centers on the horrors and brutality of the time as the player navigates the world as three children. Players mostly take on the role of Amicia, a 15-year-old girl that has had to grow up too fast to protect her younger brother.
