A Plague Tale 3 was supposed to be a surprise, but someone spoiled it, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a prequel to the popular series
The casual announcement of the release of Lies of P: Overture was followed by another premature reveal. This time, it fell on a new game in the acclaimed A Plague Tale series.
Update (June 8th, 10:08 am PT)
As expected, at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, we saw the first trailer for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, which seems to confirm everything I wrote below. Here it is:
In Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, we'll be taking part in events that happen 15 years before those shown in Requiem (which starts a few months after the end of Innocence). Playing as the well-known character Sophie from the sequel, we'll go on an adventure to the Island of the Minotaur, trying to escape a pursuit and uncover the secrets of our past. We'll have to outsmart deadly enemies, discover ancient mysteries, and confront a mythical creature linked to a destructive curse.
The medieval story is intertwined with a tale from the Bronze Age about the Minoan civilization - there is even a mention of Daedalus in the game description on Steam. Also, in of gameplay, the third installment seems to rely even more on brutal combat than A Plague Tale: Requiem, although, of course, sneaking around will also be a part of it.
Original news (June 8th, 02:27 am PT)
Just a few days after the of the popular series from Asobo Studio.
The game announcement was accidentally published on June 5th on the Threads platform (via TwistedVoxel) on the official profile of the publisher, Focus Entertainment. The graphic quickly disappeared, but it managed to spread across the internet, revealing a few key details, including the release date in 2026. The title is set to hit PC, PS5, and XSX/S.
According to the leaked information, the main character of the part of the game's story won't be Amicia de Rune, who was the emotional center of Requiem, along with her brother Hugo. Instead, the plot will focus on Sophia, a pirate smuggler and a secondary character known to players from the sequel.
A short video clip, which also saw the light of day, presents a fragment of the character's fight and an arena reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum. The shot with the huge minotaur statue looks pretty intriguing too.
Considering the high popularity of the series and the fact that Asobo Studio already published job offers in 2022, indicating the development of another project, the announcement of a new installment should not be a surprise.
The new game will most likely be - this time officially - announced during today's Xbox Games Showcase 2025. The show will start at 10:00 am PT.
