Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
About
Overview
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is an action-adventure game developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment. It is the third installment in the A Plague Tale series and serves as a prequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence. The game follows Sophia, a character previously introduced in A Plague Tale: Requiem, and explores her backstory before the events of Innocence.
Gameplay
Resonance is played from a third-person perspective. While earlier A Plague Tale games were primarily focused on stealth, Resonance is more action-oriented. The player controls Sophia, who is presented as a more capable fighter. She can parry enemy attacks and counter them with deadly finishing moves.
The game also introduces a dual-timeline mechanic. Players can switch between the Middle Ages and the Minoan period, with events in the Minoan past able to affect the Middle Ages timeline.
Setting
The story begins in 1334, 15 years before A Plague Tale: Innocence. Sophia is a smuggler who discovers her connection to the Prima Macula’s ancient history. Resonance moves the series away from Middle Ages France and to the Greek island of Crete, where Sophia grew up.
Release
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was released on 2026-08-27 for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. It was developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment.
The game was developed using Zouna, Asobo Studio’s in-house proprietary engine. Asobo chose not to use generative AI in the development of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
