A sequel to A Plague Tale: Requiem hasn't been officially announced at the time of writing, but work on the series seems to be ongoing at developer Asobo Studio, with open job listings now live for the developer's internal 'Plague Team'.
Basically, the French studio is currently split up as it works on multiple projects, with Microsoft Flight Simulator being the other major franchise in development over there. There are lots of positions ready to be filled for work on Microsoft Flight Sim as the 2024 edition nears release, but there are also four roles available for the A Plague Tale team.
Those roles are for a VFX Artist, Gameplay Designer Senior, Senior AI Programmer and Senior Gameplay Animator. Work on Requiem — which launched on Xbox Game Pass in October 2022 — is now complete, so, is a sequel in the works?
Well... possibly. We can't say for sure, as the team could be working on some sort of expansion for last year's game, but DLC hasn't been announced yet and these roles certainly sound more involved than something like support work on the recently-released Requiem.
We'll be keeping our eyes on this one for any developments as we're very, very into the idea of more A Plague Tale from Asobo Studio. Whether it's DLC for Requiem or a full-blown sequel, you can count us in - it'd also be nice if a potential sequel launched on Game Pass again, wouldn't it?
Would you be up for more A Plague Tale on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know what you think these job roles are for down below.

I'd love to see it, but not sure where exactly it would go both as a story and game mechanics. I'm sure they could manage it though.
Best games of its kind. Loved both of them!
If they go with a DLC, then I could definitely see a focus on Lucas and his travels. They already teased a modern-day setting, so we're probably getting a brand-new story in the same universe. Whatever direction they take, I'll be there on day one.
I'll be there for it.
Considering the ending I'm not sure what a sequel would look like.
Can’t really imagine a sequel given, y’know, the ending of the second game, but I’m curious.
For me both games are near unplayable because of the clunky controls. Didn’t like them at all and I don’t understand all the praise.
They could certainly make a prequel or sequel with deeper/expanded mechanics. There is plenty of room and a big enough world for the series to continue and evolve.
