A Plague Tale: Requiem is out in the wild, and while the fact that the PS5 title caps out at just 30fps seems to have ruffled some feathers, we thought the game itself was great, nonetheless. It remains to be seen how successful the follow-up to 2019's A Plague Tale: Innocence will ultimately end up being, but at least for right now, developer Asobo Studios have no plans for a sequel.
In an interview over on the PlayStation Blog, director Kevin Choteau was asked whether Requiem represented another chapter in an ongoing story and was refreshingly forthright in his response, stating: "I think, for now, it’s the end. But the door is never closed, and we’ll see the player reception. We want to see their reaction before deciding anything. They are driving our production, and if they don’t like what we’ve done, we need to do something else."
A Plague Tale: Requiem is currently sitting at a respectable 82 on the review aggregate site Metacritic (with a user score of 8.3), and we would venture to say that if Asobo did feel like there was more story to tell, they would likely find an audience willing to hear what they have to say.

Good game, just hated the inconsistency of the skill level up system especially the one on the opportunism which always trigger the aggressive skill for some reason. And also of course the lack of performance mode.
I think this is smart because while I’m loving requiem they’ve taken this game,story and it’s systems about as far as it can go.
Probably a good idea… as if there was a third it would probably be 15fps on PS5/SeriesX if how the reduction from Innocence to Requiem is anything to go by 😏
Well, the game is a day old....probably time to start considering remaster plans...
This was such a good game, got it sale a year ago. Tragic it won't get a sequel, id give anything for a follow up.
@Sequel A Plague Tale: Innocence, the game you got a year ago does have a sequel. It came out yesterday, it's called A Plague Tale: Requiem.
So if you have 60 bucks that's all you have to give.
I'm too early into the game to have a say about any further sequels but at the moment in my mind I'd like to see another. Even if it's to end as a trilogy. A part of me doesn't want to end from here as I love the first game and so far enjoying the sequel. The other part doesn't want it to be milked to death but someday in the future I'd really like to play the game again at their best.
The first game has a great story and it's something they should consider making into a series/movie to reach a bigger audience that don't play games
@Beeeee-AHH-eer
Well good news a TV show is already confirmed in the works!

I've had a great time with the game so far. I'm only in Chapter 3 but it definitely plays better than the original. It's also drop dead gorgeous but yeah I need to finish it first before deciding if I want another one or not. Regardless Asobo has certainly proven themselves at this point.
While I've yet to play either it's refreshing to see a developer know when a project is at its end. This industry relies too heavily on churning out sequel after sequel and, more often than not, to the detriment of the franchise.
@Korgon Cheers! I completely forgot about that announcement. Great to know there's one in the works!
@Korgon Thanks for sharing the TV show announcement, I had completely forgotten as well like @Beeeee-AHH-eer did.
Here's hoping the show will be available for streaming in the USA with an English voice cast.
Finished it. Loved the game so much! One of my top favourite games of the year. I'm divided about future games. On one hand I want another so much and on the other I don't want the games to become stale.
I think I might take another couple games but let enough time pass by so that it doesn't end up feeling stale
