Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio have announced the release date for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. The action adventure game will launch on August 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. It will also be available through Game Pass, with pricing set at $49.99 on PC and $59.99 on consoles. The new game is a prequel to A Plague Tale: Requiem and shifts the focus to a different protagonist while remaining tied to the same universe.
The story takes place 15 years before the events of Requiem and follows Sophia, a fierce young plunderer on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Her journey leads her to the Minotaur’s Island, a place built around deadly trials, dangerous paths, puzzles, and enemies drawn there by a mysterious treasure. The adventure blends combat, myth, and fate, offering a new angle on the world of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey is not only about escaping danger. As she moves deeper into the heart of the island, she will confront the truth behind a long-buried curse. The game will shift between Sophia’s Middle Age and ancient Minoan times, letting echoes of the past shape battles in the present. At the center of that structure are two heroes linked by fate and by the mysterious legacy of the Macula.
Gameplay will ask players to navigate a treacherous maze while relying on agility, tricks, and sharp reflexes. Enemies will pursue Sophia across the island, forcing her to outsmart threats, perfect her parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Exploration will also be supported by Sophia’s notebook, which helps her follow in her crew’s footsteps, connect information, and uncover secrets scattered through a richly detailed world.
One of the key tools is a stolen Minoan sphere used to manipulate light, a force woven by Daedalus into the island’s very heart. That mechanic will drive puzzles and open ways through the island’s trials, but danger will remain constant. A restless presence lurks in the shadows and follows Sophia through the depths, seemingly aware of her every move. Stopping can become fatal, so survival means hiding, outsmarting the threat, and pushing forward one step at a time.
