Nasty rats star in A Plague Tale: Innocence trailer

Asobo Studios and Focus Home Interactive have released a teaser trailer for A Plague Tale: Innocence. The game takes place in one of the darkest periods of medieval history, during events surrounding the Black Death, a plague that killed millions of people.

Although the trailer doesn't give us a glimpse of actual gameplay, we can see that the supernatural rat swarm fears the light. Sounds intriguing already. Asobo did publish a new website for the game, but unfortunately there isn't any information to be found there just yet. Here's the official blurb:

1349. The plague ravages the Kingdom of France. Amicia and her younger brother Hugo are pursued by the Inquisition through villages devastated by the disease. On their way, they will have to join forces with other orphans and evade swarms of rats using fire and light. Aided only by the link that binds their fates together, the children will face the darkest days of history in their struggle to survive. The adventure begins on consoles and PC... and the time of innocence ends.

A Plague Tale: Innocence will release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Check out the new trailer below.
