Developer Asobo Studio, which put out the flea-ridden (but well-received) A Plague Tale: Requiem most recently, is hiring for its Plague Team, giving us a flicker of hope for future content in its grimdark medieval world. That's according to a job ad posted by the developer itself on LinkedIn, where it was promptly spotted and catalogued by ResetEra.
Requiem performed well both critically and commercially, and director Kevin Choteau said around the time of launch that there were no active plans for a sequel but that "the door is never closed", citing player feedback. It seems like whatever threshold needed for more verminous nightmare fuel was achieved, however, as Asobo Studio is hiring for the following roles on The Plague Team:
- VFX Artist
- Game Designer Senior
- Senior AI Programmer
- Senior Gameplay Animator
Of course, it's entirely possible the studio is working on DLC for Requiem or something else entirely, but nonetheless, we'd take another nibble at the cheese that is the expanded Plague universe. What did you think of Requiem, want more of Hugo and Amicia? Let us know in the comments section below.

or they could be making another game
im pretty sure they wont just be making two games for the rest of their existence
I hope its for a new IP. Requiem ended perfectly and is a really good game. Lets just leave it at that.
Let's hope it is true. And let's hope Microsoft won't aquire them and make it exclusive to its platform.
Given how they left the 2nd I’d be intrigued to see what they do with a 3rd.
Eh - they need to shake it up quite a lot. I think they did the medieval setting perfectly and used up all the opportunities.
I loved the first... 2nd is on my buy list at some point.
@Grimwood What is AC game is set in the modern world?
The bond of Amicia and Hugo made these games for me. Hopefully they can do it again with different characters.
Requiem was an excellent game. My 2nd favorite game of last year only behind Elden Ring. If it is indeed a sequel it will be very interesting to see how they approach it after how Requiem ended! Personally I would be fine with a new IP but I'll also gladly check out a 3rd game.
Asobo is one of my favorite devs in the business currently so whatever they put out I'll at least be interested...well except for Flight Simulator anyway but only because it's just not my thing.
I haven’t played this but loved the first one. Might pick it up soon though. Glad to see it did well and they’re maybe making another
The rats is back, and this time it's personal.
I hope that's the tagline for plague tale 3 if they're making it 😁
@trev666 It's for the Plague team, so it's pretty much a given that it'll be related to Plague Tale.
You got my hopes up with the wording of the headline & thinking that they may be working on a sequel to their 360 game FUEL (Fuel + Flight Sim type maps would be incredible)
Hope so... I'll take anything from them
Loved A Plague Tale: Requiem. These are the type of games that keep me in gaming.
Art direction/sound/acting were all brilliant.
