Trailer for A Plague Tale: Requiem demonstrates Hugo's abilities: the boy can find out the location of enemies and send a crowd of rats at them

Focus Entertainment continues to publish videos that further reveal the gameplay of A Plague Tale: Requiem. Now we learned more about the abilities of Hugo, the younger brother of Amicia.

Here's What We Know

The first thing that was demonstrated is the ability to highlight enemies that we cannot see. This is like an analogue of the "hearing" mode in The Last of Us. Hugo highlights all enemies in yellow and you can clearly see where they are and where they are going. It is not yet clear whether this feature will always be available or you have to wait for a certain time to activate it.

The second ability of Hugo is to direct a crowd of rats at enemies. The boy takes control of the rats, shows them the direction and the target to be destroyed.

Flashback

Asobo Studio is already on the home stretch in the development of a direct sequel to A Plague Tale with the subtitle Requiem. In the world of the game, six months have passed since the events of Innocence. Amicia and Hugo head south in search of a new and peaceful life. But adventures caught up with the sister and brother again. Hugo's illness has worsened, and Amicia must go with him to a secret island that may hold the key to curing her younger brother. The world is becoming more cruel, distorted, and rats are only increasing. Along with this, weapons, tools, magic and variations of enemy destruction have increased.

When We Can Expect It

A Plague Tale: Requiem is scheduled for October 18 on XBOX Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
