Among the main new features introduced in A Plague Tale: Requiem, Amicia can count on the crossbow. Moreover, it is now the subject of a gameplay video where we are shown how it can be used. The heroine will have the possibility of eliminating opponents of course, but also accessing new passages by attaching a rope to the tile. “We had this desire to offer more action in the gameplay, explained recently Kévin Pinson (lead level designer). It goes with the fact that Amicia is a little more warlike and also adapts to adversity. going to encounter different types of enemies that sometimes have armor and such. And so, she needs to respond to that adversity."
Before adding: "And so, at some point, she will have this crossbow which will allow her to defeat slightly more complex enemies. She is not someone who is overtrained, she is not one of of the army of the time. So, it will use it in its own way, and we will also divert the use of the crossbow a little at the alchemical level since all the tools can be combined with all the ammunition. Suddenly, it gives us an Amicia that looks more badass. It gives her a certain presence, but again, she will use it in her own way, like with the sling."
We remind you that A Plague Tale: Requiem is expected for October 18 on Nintendo Switch (via the Cloud), Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and PC.
