Asobo Games is considering developing a modern-day installment of the A Plague Tale series, inspired by Naughty Dog's critically acclaimed The Last of Us. The studio's interest in a contemporary setting was evident during an interview at Gamescom, where lead level designer Valérian Robert, lead writer Carol Ann Bañuls, and actress Anna Demetriou discussed the possibility.

Both Bañuls and Demetriou expressed enthusiasm for the idea, with Bañuls noting that it would be "the Last of Us kind of" and Demetriou stating that "it would be amazing" to see the fantastical Prima Macula curse in a modern-day context. The A Plague Tale universe features the Macula, an ancient curse that poisons the blood of specific families, a central theme in every major game, including the upcoming Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.

While Asobo Games has not officially announced their next project, a modern-day A Plague Tale game would undoubtedly be a thrilling addition for fans.
