Asobo Studio’s A Plague Tale: Innocence is the latest free PC title on the Epic Games Store as part of its holiday promotion. It’s available to claim until January 4th, 8 AM PST, though you need an Epic Games Account and the launcher.
Launched in 2019 for PS4, PC and Xbox One, A Plague Tale: Innocence is about Amicia and Hugo de Rune, who are on the run during the Hundred Years’ War. During this, a terrible plague spreads via rats, and players must solve puzzles to traverse treacherous paths and avoid confrontation. Why is the French Inquisition pursuing the siblings? You’ll have to play to find out.
A Plague Tale: Innocence has sold over one million units and received extensive acclaim (read our review here). It received sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch, which topped three million players. Asobo has confirmed it’s working with Focus Entertainment on a new project, likely A Plague Tale 3. Stay tuned for potential announcements in the future.
