Asobo Studio announced at the Xbox Games Showcase that its new entry in the
Plague Tale series is a prequel set 15 years before its last game. Resonance:
A Plague Tale Legacy is focused on the smuggler Sophia from A Plague Tale:
Requiem, and is scheduled to be released in 2026.

Based on the brief description from the game's trailer, Resonance follows a
young Sophia as she "seeks her independence as a fierce plunderer in the
unforgiving world of the 14th century." The trailer shows Sophia on the run,
escaping conflict, exploring mysterious ruins, and generally being pursued by
danger, alongside more ominous vignettes showcasing Asobo's typically lush
visuals.

If surviving a plague made the first two games seem grim, escaping a flaming
ship or battling in a gladiatorial arena doesn't make Sophia's past
adventures seem all that more for fun. Still, there's very little to go on,
and quite a bit more to learn before Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy comes
out in 2026.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is currently set to be released on Xbox
Series X / S, PS5, PC and Xbox Cloud Streaming. It'll also be available from
day one through Xbox Game Pass.
