Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Guide

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy released on August 27, 2026. Steam lists the PC version at $49.99, while the official Resonance FAQ confirms PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. It is an original prequel set roughly 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, developed by Asobo Studio and published by Focus Entertainment.

Game Pass availability has not been confirmed by Microsoft, Focus Entertainment, or Asobo Studio, so we mark it as unconfirmed. An Xbox Series X|S release is confirmed, but that is a separate commitment and does not imply Game Pass. A Plague Tale: Requiem launched day one on Game Pass in 2022, but that precedent does not confirm availability for this game.

Sophia is the named protagonist of Resonance. Requiem players will recognise her as the sailor and treasure hunter who helped Amicia and Hugo. Official Steam news also describes trials through the eyes of the legendary hero Theseus. This prequel follows Sophia’s earlier journey to the Minotaur’s Island, where the Minoan myth and the Macula’s legacy intersect.

It is a prequel. Resonance takes place about 15 years before the events of A Plague Tale: Requiem, centring on Sophia rather than Amicia and Hugo. You do not need to have finished Innocence or Requiem to follow the story, though returning players will catch extra connections to the wider Macula lore and the fate that links the series’ heroes.

Yes, both are confirmed. The official Resonance FAQ, posted to the game’s Steam news hub, confirms PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. The Steam store page lists the PC version at $49.99. Per-platform details such as console pricing, performance modes, and install sizes may differ, while Game Pass availability remains unconfirmed.

Start with the confirmed combat foundation: dynamic melee, agility, tricks, sharp reflexes, parries, and powerful strikes. The official description does not publish a control map or timing window, so exact input advice remains build-specific.

Recent Steam player reports describe Story Select as the starting point for revisiting a story section, but they do not provide a complete chapter route or artifact list. Use the game’s own progress feedback to confirm a cleanup result.

Recent Steam player reports say registered collectibles persist through death. That is community evidence, not an official save-system specification or a claim of first-hand testing, and it should not be extended to every kind of progress.

Recent Steam player reports say skill points do not persist after death, while collectibles are reported to persist. The report does not define every restart or save condition, so verify the visible progress state in your own copy.
