The prequel to A Plague Tale: Requiem
The story of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes place 15 years before the events of A Plague Tale: Requiem. The focus is on Sophia, a young marauder who is looking for answers to questions about her own past. Their search leads them to the island of the Minotaur.
There she is targeted by an army from which she has to repeatedly escape. On her way, Sophia crosses dangerous areas and solves puzzles. Little by little she uncovers the background to an old curse and discovers its connection to the island’s myths. The story expands the world of “A Plague Tale” with new characters and settings and sheds light on other aspects of the Macula.
Sophia is already known to those familiar with the series. In 2022’s “A Plague Tale: Requiem,” she supported siblings Amicia and Hugo as a captain. The macula, in turn, is the mysterious disease that was closely linked to Hugo and the rat plagues in the predecessors.
Fights, jumps in time and a Minoan sphere
The trailer for “Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy” also provides an overview of the game mechanics. In fights against human opponents, Sophia relies on parries, melee attacks and evasive maneuvers. Stealth and pursuit passages are also part of the gameplay, in which an unknown threat plays a central role.
