The rumor mill has been spinning yet again in the gaming sector, fanning the flames for the potential launch of “A Plague Tale 3”, the much-anticipated sequel in the renowned A Plague Tale series. This speculation comes on the heels of an anonymous industry insider revealing that the early stages of the game's development may already be underway.

"A Plague Tale" is a saga of narrative adventure games set in the Middle Ages during an era infected with both supernatural and realistic plagues. It has amassed a massive fan base who are hankering for more after the story-driven success of the original game and its sequel, "A Plague Tale: Innocence" and "A Plague Tale: Requiem". The journey of Amicia and her little brother Hugo evokes heart-wrenching moments tailor-made for fans who cherish narrative depth coupled with an immersive gaming experience.

Continuing in the same line of thought, the industry insider mentioned on the Xboxera podcast that such a project exists, although in a budding stage. If true, this would undoubtedly be welcome news for the franchise's numerous admirers longing to sink their gaming teeth into a fresh new story filled with challenges. The mentioned comments should be taken with a grain of salt, though, as Focus Home Interactive, the publisher, or Asobo Studio, the game developer have made no official statement.

Rumors notwithstanding, fans and industry aficionados alike should heed the reality that video game development is an intricate process that demands considerable time and resources. If "A Plague Tale 3" is indeed on its way, an official announcement may still be distant. Until such time, the anticipative whispers and speculative rumblings amplified by word of mouth and social media platforms will continue to keep the fervor alive, proving once again the depth of the indelible mark that the A Plague Tale series has left on the gaming landscape.
