The rats have escaped, and one in every of them is clutching a 15 second teaser trailer for a brand new Plague Story sport from Focus. The teaser briefly squeaked its approach to the daylight on Focus’s Threads account earlier than being swiftly shooed again into its gap, however the rapscallions over on the gaming leaks and rumours subreddit grabbed the main points. After all, we do not say rapscallions right here. We are saying rapspringonions. This is the trailer, through our great mates Eurogamer.
As I say, there’s not an ideal deal to go on right here. We see preventing, boating, what appears like a Roman colosseum, and a shadowy minotaur. I did not play a lot of the second sport, although I did benefit from the stealth of A Plague Tale: Innocence, so I am a bit behind on the rat lore. Reddit has some theories, although. A personality named Basilius from A Plague Tale: Requiem was accountable, in historical Roman instances, for unleashing Focus’s glorious rat tech on the world. So this appears to be a prequel of types.
The teaser ends with quantity ‘2026’, doubtlessly a devious ARG cypher resulting in a sequence of guerrilla advertising and marketing posters in bus stops throughout Cambridge, every containing a single letter of the sentence “the sport is out subsequent yr”. We’ll need to see!
