Despite the press conferences (which you can get caught up on here) having concluded, E3 news is still coming in, as evidenced by Focus Home Interactive (who recently published The Surge and Seasons After Fall) revealing two new titles today.

The first, A Plague Tale: Innocence, takes place in the plague-ravaged Kingdom of France in 1394. The protagonists - orphaned siblings Amicia and her younger brother Hugo - are being pursued by the Inquisition through villages devastated by the disease.

​On their journey they'll join forces with other orphans and avoid swarms of supernatural plague rats, using only fire and light. The gameplay blends action, adventure and stealth phases.

​The second game, Insurgency: Sandstorm, is the sequel to 2014's PC only shooter, Insurgency.

Building on the formula of the original, Sandstorm adds new modes, first and foremost of which is a Story Mode. It’ll see your team cut off from support and tasked with traversing a war-torn landscape in a deeply personal narrative.


Sandstorm will be supported with additional new modes and content after release.

The trailer is narrated by one of the main characters, a US army veteran turned volunteer soldier, who had allied with a female fighter native to the region.
The gameplay is said to reward teamwork and objective play over pursuing personal success. Features include drivable vehicles, character customisation with unlockable cosmetic items, fire support requests and ranked matchmaking.

​
Both games are coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC, while both games don’t yet have a release date.
