A Plague Tale: Requiem is an action-adventure stealth game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment. It is the sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence (2019), and follows siblings Amicia and Hugo de Rune who must look for a cure to Hugo's blood disease in Southern France while fleeing from soldiers of the Inquisition and hordes of rats that are spreading the black plague. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 18 October 2022. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Asobo Studio in-house engine. We test using the Ultra preset, DX12 API.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a new addition to our test suite and this is a very demanding title using Ultra settings – at 1440p the RTX 4070 is barely exceeding 60FPS on average, though that does make it about 4% faster than the RX 6800 XT.

Up at 4K, the 4070 is now 7% slower than the RTX 3080 and dead-level with the RX 6800 XT, delivering 35FPS on average. You'd likely want to drop quality settings, or enable DLSS for a smoother frame rate in this title.
