It seems thatA Plague Taleis getting set to bring its grim nightmare to a whole new medium, as the Team Asobo stealth adventure is to be adapted as a live-action TV series at some point in the future.
Details about the new production are incredibly thin on the ground, with the news first reported byFrench outlet Allocine, before being later confirmed by the new show’s director, Mathieu Turi. Turi already knows his way around a grisly encounter or two, having previously worked on horror filmsHostile(2017) andMeander(2020), while also directing episodes of theRosemary’s BabyTV series.
“I’m honored to work on the adaptation as a TV series ofA Plague Tale,”wrote Turi on Twitter.“Thank you to Asobo Studio and Focus Entertainment for their trust. I can’t wait to bring Amicia and Hugo’s journey to the screen!”
It is believed that the newA Plague Taleadaptation, much like its video game source origins, will see the displaced De Rune children pick their way through 14th century France, desperately trying to stay one step ahead of both The Inquisition and a terrifying army of black rats that has enveloped the countryside. It’s no secret among Destructoid readers that I’m a big fan of said game and I’m very much looking forward to seeing its period gothic story of loss and survival played out in televisual form.
A Plague Tale: Innocenceis available now on PlayStation, PC, and Xbox Platforms. SequelA Plague Tale: Requiemis currently in development for PS5, PC, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch (via cloud).
