The trailer shows an older Hugo and Amicia, possibly in a different, more Mediterranean climate. Southern France was often unseasonably rainy and muddy in the first game. There is also a massive tidal wave of rats. Like, remember the blood coming out of the elevators in the shining? It’s that, but all rats. Hugo’s staring eyes in the header image look upset because he is probably look at a shitload of hungry rats.
That’s a lorra lorra rat.
It was less satisfying watching most of Amicia and Hugo’s friends die in various horrible ways, but look - you win some, you lose some.
That’s all we have on Requiem for now, but keep an ear out for the pitter patter of tiny rats in 2022, when it’ll be on Game Pass.
