Asobo Studio's remarkable stealth-adventure titles, A Plague Tale: Innocence and A Plague Tale: Requiem, are being bundled together in a new steelbook collection for the PS5. Priced at $50, the A Plague Tale Collection will be available from December 5, with preorders currently open at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.
If you haven't experienced the Plague Tale games, you're missing out on a pair of stealth-driven action-adventures that follow siblings Amicia and Hugo as they navigate a medieval world overrun by rats and pursued by menacing adversaries. The games emphasize outsmarting enemies and evading them.
The first game, A Plague Tale: Innocence, was among GameSpot's top games of 2019, and its 2022 sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, received a commendable 7/10 score. Richard Wakeling noted in GameSpot's review of A Plague Tale: Requiem, "The game excels in the same areas as its predecessor, with uneven but improved stealth-action gameplay, introducing more tools and expanding in scope."
Both games are visually stunning on consoles, blending historically accurate designs with artistic flair to create eerily beautiful settings teeming with rats. For the best visual experience, consider upgrading to a PlayStation 5 Pro console and Sony's $80 Disc Drive attachment. The new console, available for preorder now ahead of its November 7 release, boasts a larger GPU that, according to Sony, enables up to 45% faster rendering. It also features AI-driven upscaling and advanced ray tracing, making the thousands of rats in the Plague Tale games even more terrifying.
Other noteworthy game deals include Metaphor ReFantazio's launch discount at Fanatical, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for just $50, and EA Sports College Football for $41.
