Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy set for August 2026 release
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, a prequel to the existing franchise developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment, is scheduled for release on August 27, 2026. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
Set 15 to 16 years before the main series, the story follows a young Sophia on Minotaur Island. The narrative explores her connection to the Prima Macula and incorporates elements of Greek mythology, including visions of ancient heroes. Unlike previous entries that focused heavily on stealth, this title introduces a more dynamic combat system featuring swordplay, parries, and dodges.
Players will navigate environments such as coastal ruins and underground labyrinths while solving environmental puzzles. The game is a single-player experience and does not feature multiplayer or cooperative modes.
