Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio have announced that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy will launch on August 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game will also be available day one on Game Pass.
Set 15 years before the events of A Plague Tale: Requiem, the prequel follows Sophia, the fan-favourite smuggler introduced in the previous game, as she embarks on a dangerous quest to uncover the secrets of her past.
Taking players to the mysterious Minotaur’s Island, Resonance blends action, exploration, puzzle-solving, and mythology in what appears to be a significant departure from the stealth-focused gameplay of earlier entries. Players will battle enemies, master parries, solve light-based puzzles using a stolen Minoan sphere, and evade a terrifying creature lurking within the island’s depths.
The game also introduces a dual-timeline narrative, shifting between Sophia’s journey and events set during the ancient Minoan civilization, with both stories connected by the mysterious legacy of the Macula.
From its reveal, Resonance looks to be the most action-oriented entry in the series yet, while retaining the dark atmosphere, mystery, and emotional storytelling that helped make A Plague Tale one of gaming’s most acclaimed narrative franchises.
