Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
What critics said
Couch Soup85Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy kinda rocks. It’s a type of game that I’ve been sorely missing over the last couple of years: a bombastic single-player action adventure with an engaging linear story, decent combat, intuitive but challenging puzzle design, and TREASURE! I haven’t had this feeling since finishing Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (which was almost 10 YEARS AGO!). I loved my time with Sophia, the pirate soon-to-be-smuggler, and it gave me a greater appreciation for her character in the world of A Plague Tale. Resonance is a beautiful game that deserves your attention.
PC Gamer76On the Tomb Raider reboot scale this is better than Shadow, not quite as good as Rise.
IGN60Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a prequel spinoff that takes a lot of interesting chances with the series, but only some of its experiments pay off.

Review: Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Excels on PC with Superior Scalability
Plus: Optimised and console-equivalent settings. Four years after the beautiful scenes of A Plague Tale: Requiem, Asobo Studio has returned with Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. Powered by the developer's proprietary Zouna engine, this prequel marks an impressive visual evolution, boasting richly detailed environments, excellent character models and superb art direction that builds significantly upon its predecessor. Our aim with this PC-focused testing is to provide the optimal balance between
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Is Good If You Do The Necessary Homework Beforehand
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy faces a difficult balancing act. Can it move away from its predecessors' terrifying waves of rats and still deliver a supernatural terror that ties into rewarding environmental puzzles? Can it ditch the series' sibling protagonists and still tell a moving story focused on two people learning to lean on one another? And can it add fierce, frenetic combat to the franchise's formula as a new gameplay pillar without abandoning its core identity as a puzzle game? At ti
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Is Incredible On PS5 Pro, But Performs Best On Xbox Series X
"Perhaps the most surprising finding in our testing". We're sure you're aware that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is officially out now on Xbox Game Pass, but what you might not know is that the Xbox Series X version actually performs best out of all consoles, including the PS5 Pro. The surprising discovery was made by Digital Foundry during their analysis of the game, with the team pointing out that the Xbox Series X "consistently delivers a tighter frame-rate and better optimisation" over Pla
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy's Game Director and Star on Why Sophia Is So Special and Why This Prequel Let the Team 'Get Some Fresh Air' | gamescom 2026
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy has just been released on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and we had the chance at gamescom to speak to David Dedeine, co-founder of Asobo and game director, and Anna Demetriou, Sophia's voice actor, about this big moment for the franchise.
Review: Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Is a Visual Feast to Cherish on Every Console
Though PS5 Pro is a class apart. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy represents a significant technological leap for Asobo Studio, building upon the foundations laid by its predecessors. Set 15 years before Requiem, the game follows adventurer Sophia in a narrative-driven experience that trades traditional stealth mechanics for a more aggressive, combo-focused combat system. This gameplay shift is matched by a visual evolution, using the studio's in-house engine to deliver some of the most striking

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review – a competent action game spinoff that loses what made its predecessors unique
For a series about light and dark, it's appropriate that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a spinoff that's trying to escape the main entries' shadow. Developer Asobo Studio have dropped much that is familiar to explore exactly what a Plague Tale story can be. Resonance doesn't feature series protagonists Amicia and Hugo. It is set 16 years before the events of the last game, long before the siblings flee across wartorn medieval France, hunted by the soldiers of the Inquisition. In Resonance, y
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review
Putting 'legacy' in the title of your game naturally encourages considerations about what that legacy might be – and that, in turn, invites thoughts about its identity. (And perhaps 'supremacy' and 'ultimatum' if you're a big Jason Bourne fan.) It might sound silly to say of a game with some of the most impressive faces and places you'll see this – or any – year. But to me, A Plague Tale is spiritually double-A, and I absolutely mean that as a compliment. I find myself instinctively rooting for

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy – Why This Is Far More Than A Plague Tale 3
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy sees this beloved franchise take a huge leap forward. Following the stealth-focused adventures of A Plague Tale: Innocence and A Plague Tale: Requiem, you might have expected the team to plough a similar furrow, but Resonance pushes the series in a new direction: all-out action-adventure. From reinventing core mechanics to […] The post Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy – Why This Is Far More Than A Plague Tale 3 appeared first on XBOX Wire.

Round Up: The Previews Are In For Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
We've got new gameplay, too! Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was announced during last year's Xbox Games Showcase, and now, thanks to an early preview, we've got the first word on what the game is actually like to sit down and play. If you're unfamiliar with the series, Resonance is a prequel story to the generally favourable A Plague Tale: Requiem, a gorgeous action-adventure game, although it seems this new entry looks to shake things up.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Finally Lets You Swing Back | IGN Preview
Where A Plague Tale's Amicia spent two games hiding in the grass, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy's smuggler Sophia is far more athletic and trained for danger, and it plays less like a full-blown stealth puzzler than like Assassin's Creed crossed with Tomb Raider. On this evidence, it's the best the series has ever felt in our hands.
"GTA is like the ogre" - It's an "odd" year to release a video game, says A Plague Tale studio Asobo
A Plague Tale developer Asobo has called Grand Theft Auto 6 an "ogre" as far as its dominance over 2026's release schedule goes. It's the same year its Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy game comes out, and it joins the crush in late August, a couple of months before GTA 6 crashes in.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy devs learned to make melee combat on the job
Give me a game where I can hoof an enemy over the side of the cliff like a cut price Leonidas, and I'm happy. (It seems I'm not the only one.) So, yes, while I was sad to see no swarms of rats in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, I was very happy with the switch from stealth gameplay to scrappy melee. I might have been more worried going in if I knew just how little experience developer Asobo Studio have making combat games. "Nobody did a combat game before Resonance," lead level designer Valéria

Stealth's been replaced with scrappy swordfighting in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, but what I really miss are the rat swarms
I've never mastered the combat of Sekiro and Sifu. They're games that demand you recognise an incoming attack and match it with millisecond perfect parries and dodges. Success sees you turn a foe's assaults against them, ducking under their swinging blade and popping up behind them to deliver a precise punch to their kidney; failure sees you knocked to the ground or cut in two. So it's not great news for me that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy has dropped its stealth roots in favour of combat in
I've played Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and it's very different to Requiem and Innocence - but that's not necessarily a bad thing
It's all-change in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. This series - known for stealth and the emotional adventures of brother and sister Hugo and Amicia in plague-ridden France - now no longer has stealth, no longer has Amicia and Hugo, and no longer takes place in France. But - and I say this as someone fond of the Plague Tale series and who's played the new game for an hour or so - Resonance is undeniably a Plague Tale game, and a very promising one at that.
