Musophobia is a fear of rats and mice, and A Plague Tale: Requiem seeks to once again trigger it. If you’re familiar with A Plague Tale: Innocence you know that the world in the game is being entirely overcome with rats carrying a plague. The new game once again has players journey as Amicia alongside her brother Hugo as they aim to escape the spreading rats. Only, Hugo seems to be holding a very dark curse.

Watch the trailer for yourself, if you can stand to look at the pretty horrifying swarms of rats.

A press release we received accompanying the new trailer describes the story as:

A Plague Tale: Requiem will be released on Oct. 18 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch as a Cloud Version. It will also be landing on Xbox Game Pass on launch.
