Sean Bean Recites William Blake While Introducing Players to ‘A Plague Tale: Innocence’

With Asobo Studio’s dark adventure game A Plague Tale: Innocence is out now (you can read our take on the game), and what better way to get you interested in snagging a copy than for Sean Bean to recite William Blake?

The brief-but-effective trailer has Bean doing a dramatic recitation of Blake’s “The Little Boy Lost”, which when intercut with scenes from the game, is downright haunting. The poem perfectly illustrates Amicia and Hugo’s journey through a war-torn medieval France, with the Black Death touching everything around them.

Quality stuff. A Plague Tale: Innocence is available now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
