A Plague Tale Developer Provides New Details On Third Game and Teases Upcoming Launch

After a long wait, the developers at Absobo Studio have revealed new information about Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, including details about the main character and suggesting the game will be released soon. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the third game in the Plague Tale series, which is praised for its compelling stories and immersive, atmospheric worlds.

Released in 2019, A Plague Tale: Innocence quickly gained popularity and critical praise, becoming a beloved AA-indie title. Drawing inspiration from games like The Last of Us, Asobo Studio crafted a narrative-driven experience set in 14th-century France. The game follows Amicia de Rune and her ill brother, Hugo, as they desperately try to escape the French Inquisition, who are intensely interested in Hugo and his condition. The success of A Plague Tale: Innocence led to A Plague Tale: Requiem in 2022, which continued Amicia and Hugo’s story and brought their journey to a conclusion. Asobo Studio announced a prequel, Resonance, at Summer Games Fest 2025, but there haven’t been any updates about its development since.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Explores Sophia’s Dark Past

Asobo and Focus Entertainment have shared new details about Resonance: A Plague Tale – Legacy, a prequel to Innocence and Requiem. A recent developer blog post focuses on the game’s protagonist, Sophia, and hints that the release date is approaching. Legacy takes place 15 years before the other games, showing Sophia’s life from childhood to young adulthood and how she became the notorious “Scorpion of the Seas.” The team describes a difficult upbringing that shaped her character. They also announced that the game is nearing completion, with final touches being made to gameplay, and recording sessions wrapping up.

As of today, a specific release date for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy hasn’t been announced, but recent developer updates suggest one is coming soon. The game is nearing completion, and the development team plans to share three more blog posts with further details about what players can anticipate, and potentially, a release date. Upcoming content includes an interview with the voice actress for Sophia and a blog post exploring the game’s mythology.

The upcoming game, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, promises to continue the series’ tradition of compelling stories and emotional depth. According to Adobo Studio, the game will delve into themes of loss and feeling alone, focusing on Sophia’s character. The developers appreciate Sophia’s realistic flaws and how they make her relatable. This version of Sophia is portrayed as more free-spirited and less restrained than the one players encountered in Requiem.

To match the darker tone and Sophia’s evolving journey, Adobo Studio has significantly updated her appearance in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. This includes giving her hair a wilder, more untamed look and dressing her in more unique, everyday clothes. A Plague Tale fans have a lot to anticipate, and should soon have a compelling new story to explore once Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy’s release date is revealed. Hopefully, it won’t be long before they can experience Sophia’s story firsthand.
