Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy – Prequel Announced At Xbox Summer Showcase 2025
Aiming for 2026, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was announced yesterday at the Xbox Summer Showcase. Resonance is a prequel set 15 years before the events occurring in the existing A Plague Tale games. Check out Asobo Studio’s brand new reveal trailer for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, then come back and tell me who that character is. Clue: she’s not brand new.
Recognise her yet? No. Well, she is 15 years younger. Yeah, it’s Sophia, the wisecracking pirate captain from Requiem, but 15 years ago, when she was a wisecracking young tomb raider. Nice that she’s actually a familiar face. Resonance looks to be a much more action-oriented experience, rather than a rat-infested, stealthy one, but the curse of the ancient Macula is still very much present in the story. It’s got a bit of the feel of some of Requiem on the Island, but now the whole game – a Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Indiana Jones type affair, with that incredible fidelity and gameplay of the A Plague Tale series.
From the Press Release:
Set 15 years before the events of Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run but determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon reveal itself…
As you journey deeper into the island’s heart, you’ll confront the truth behind a long-buried curse.
- Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters.
- Shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present. Unfold a new story in the universe of A Plague Tale, through the entwined destinies of two heroes linked by fate and the Macula’s mysterious legacy.
- Guided by the knowledge safeguarded in your notebook, follow in your crew’s footsteps to explore a richly detailed world, unravel its secrets, and face deadly trials. Use a stolen Minoan sphere to solve ingenious puzzles by manipulating light – a force woven by Daedalus into the island’s very heart.
- It is said that only a few came back from the island. Lurking in the shadows lives a restless presence. It follows you around, seemingly knowing your every move, as it hunts through the island’s depths. Every step is a risk. Every pause, a potential end. You can’t stop, only hide, outsmart, and push forward.
