The file size for A Plague Tale: Requiem has been revealed. The release of A Plague Tale: Requiem is upon players, and this recent reveal of the file size suggests a tight gameplay experience for the Asobo Studio sequel.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is the sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence, the fantasy-esque historical piece whose main cast of characters may remind players of The Last of Us, but with more of an emphasis on stealth based and puzzle solving gameplay. A Plague Tale: Innocence was quite impressive for what is considered an indie game, so the sequel is highly anticipated among the fan base. With the sequel on the way, and the first game having left Xbox Game Pass, players may desire a recap of A Plague Tale: Innocence before jumping into its sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem.
A Plague Tale: Requiem will be available on Xbox Game Pass the same day as its release on October 18, and is now available on the service for subscribers to install. With the recent install available, the file size is revealed to be the same as A Plague Tale: Innocence at 50GB, which can also be suspected for PS5 and PC. 50GB is a reasonable file size given the amount of rats on-screen in A Plague Tale: Requiem compared to its predecessor. The rats are one of the main antagonists of the game, as the story takes place in 14th century France during the French inquisition and black plague.
The rats aren’t the only thing that players can expect more of, as A Plague Tale: Requiem is confirmed to be longer than A Plague Tale: Innocence in terms of game length, so between this and the higher fidelity on current generation consoles compared to the previous game on the last generation, it is optimal to see that the file size of both games are the same. There are quite a few day one Game Pass games releasing this month, but A Plague Tale: Requiem is looking like a must-play for players who enjoy compelling single player stories with interesting gameplay mechanics, while also reflecting the dark historical reality of its time period.
For players who are looking for further information on the game, an intense story trailer for A Plage Tale: Requiem is available, which appears to pick back up where the last game ended. Players will be able to enjoy another journey that awaits the siblings Amecia and Hugo that is anticipated to take them into further danger as they try to uncover the truth.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is available on October 18 for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X/S.
