That\u2019s a matter of concern for the upcoming release of <em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/a-plague-tale-requiem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>A Plague Tale: Requiem<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/em> on October 18, which expands the series three years after its prequel, <em>Innocence<\/em>, started it all. New and existing players alike might be wondering how <em>Requiem<\/em> defines itself in relation to <em>Innocence<\/em>. Today, I\u2019m pleased to shed some light on the subject.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Hop in!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p>Players can enjoy <em>Requiem<\/em> without having experienced the events of <em>Innocence<\/em>; that is something we\u2019ve worked hard on. <em>Requiem<\/em> is in the continuity of <em>Innocence<\/em>, resuming the story existing players are familiar with. But we\u2019ve been committed to making a game that is accessible to an audience who is completely new to the series. <em>Requiem<\/em> is yet another experience rooted in <em>Innocence<\/em>, with plenty of novelties along with its next-gen experience. It would be a real shame not to welcome new players to join in.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Welcoming a new audience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p>The idea was to introduce every character and give them life in the present, guiding players to meet these characters, getting to know who\u2019s who, and how they\u2019re related. Of course, there\u2019s no formal introduction of Amicia, Hugo, Lucas, or Beatrice. It happens organically. We simply make sure that the opening sequences have all the elements needed to understand the existing dynamics. For instance, you\u2019ll pick up on the fact that Lucas is Beatrice\u2019s apprentice just from their interaction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/whether-youre-a-long-time-fan-or-venturing-into-the-unknown-a-plague-tale-requiem-has-you-covered.jpg\" alt=\"A Plague Tale: Requiem\" class=\"wp-image-162525\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2><strong>A complex lore to present<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p>The most challenging part to introduce to a new audience has been the lore &#8212; it complexity unfolds in <em>Innocence<\/em>, with mystical, almost esoteric elements which are not easy to grasp. You can\u2019t just export everything from one game to another. So, it\u2019s been quite a challenge to find how to make sure new players would not get completely lost. In particular, the Macula (the disease which affects Hugo) and its consequences, needed to be clear.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Welcoming familiar players back<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p>There was a risk these adjustments could impact the experience of familiar players negatively, and that\u2019s one more of the challenges we faced. As I mentioned, we made sure not to fall into anything formal when it comes to re-introducing essential elements. This prevents a feeling of repetition for familiar players, who will enjoy the opportunity to reconnect with the characters and the world without being thrown back in at the deep end.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Same world, new dynamics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p>Between these two audiences, we\u2019ve constantly looked for the right balance, with the goal to create something organic and provide a radically new experience. That\u2019s our way of including familiar players: giving them more of the same universe without having to repeat the same thing they\u2019ve already done.<\/p>\n<p>Take the rats for instance, they\u2019re still a central element of the game. They return in <em>Requiem<\/em> and familiar players will be anticipating them. But it must still be exciting. So, they will make their entrance at a specific time, and in specific conditions, which won\u2019t repeat how they\u2019re handled in <em>Innocence<\/em> and that\u2019s something we\u2019ve thought long and hard about! This has been a guiding principle throughout the entire production.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/whether-youre-a-long-time-fan-or-venturing-into-the-unknown-a-plague-tale-requiem-has-you-covered.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167737\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2><strong>A fresh start<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p>Aside from renewing existing elements, <em>A Plague Tale: Requiem<\/em> brings completely new elements. On the whole scale of the game, there is a radically different dynamic. In the first game, Amicia and Hugo\u2019s adventure was set locally, in the region of their household, and their driving force was to run away from the Inquisition. <em>Requiem<\/em> is a journey, with the discovery of Provence, a region full of new possibilities, along with the quest for a prophesied island. It allows us to introduce new characters with new personalities and to create dynamics which didn\u2019t exist in <em>Innocence<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Amicia and Hugo are no longer known to the local population. They\u2019ll have to face its hostility or accept their help. So, there\u2019s a change of setting which affects the story in a way that both refreshes the Plague Tale experience and makes it friendly for newcomers to the second game.<\/p>\n<p>Amicia and Hugo\u2019s quest is also an inner journey, a struggle to outlive the traumatic events they faced in <em>Innocence<\/em>. That makes it a story where past and present come together to form a consistent whole, where the past echoes but doesn\u2019t paralyse &#8212; that goes for our heroes and for our players alike!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/the-outer-worlds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/a-plague-tale-requiem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>A Plague Tale: Requiem<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/em><\/a>\u00a0releases October 18 on Xbox Series X|S and PC and will be available day one with Game Pass.
