The long list of upcoming game adaptations, including titles such as “Halo,” “God of War,” and “Fallout,” continues to grow with a new TV series adaptation of Asobo’s “A Plague Tale: Innocence” now joining the list.
The “A Plague Tale” adaption will be helmed by French director Mathieu Turi, who was behind 2017’s Hostile. Merlin Productions and the game’s publisher, Focus Entertainment, will be producing. Turi announced the news himself on Twitter.

Set during the 14th century in Aquitane, France, during the Hundred Year’ War, the game centers on the plight of Amicia de Rune and her brother Hugo as they flee from soldiers of the French Inquisition as rats take over the city, spreading the Black Plague.
“A Plague Tale: Innocence” is available now on PC via Steam, as well as PS4, PS5, and Xbox One. The sequel game, “A Plague Tale: Requiem” is set to be released later this year.
