Resonance Is The Next Plague Tale Game, And It’s Out In 2026

During the Xbox Games Showcase, the upcoming title in the Plague Tale series was revealed, with its cinematic trailer hinting at a fresh direction for the franchise. Created by Asobo Studio, Resonance: A Plague Tale Story takes place 15 years before the events of the previous game, Requiem, and follows a new main character named Sophia.

On the run as a treasure hunter seeking answers about her past, Sophia embarks on an adventure that leads her to Minotaur’s Island, where she encounters perilous challenges and riddles to outmaneuver the troops hot on her trail. Asobo Studios aimed to merge “conflict, mythology, and destiny” within the world of A Plague Tale, thereby giving more weight to action-oriented gameplay.

According to Asobo Studios’ chief creative officer David Dedeine, who spoke in a press release, we aimed to delve deeper into the world of A Plague Tale by introducing a character dear to us named Sophia. However, this time around, we wanted to offer an experience that was more action-packed. This new approach includes exciting and satisfying combat systems, along with a revamped version of the Macula, an ancient evil force. Resonance also takes us to locations, periods, and themes that we haven’t explored before.

On their adventure, players will move between Sophia’s Middle Ages era and ancient Minoan times. The choices they make in the past can affect Sophia’s current situation, much like the myth of the Minotaur suggests a persistent entity is following her, which Asobo Studio has hinted at as a “haunting presence” that will be tracking Sophia.
