“We wanted to expand and explore the world of A Plague Tale with a character – Sophia – that is very close to our heart, but within a much more action-oriented experience,” said David Dedeine, Chief Creative Officer at Asobo Studio. “This fresh approach comes with intuitive and rewarding combats, as well as a brand-new manifestation of the Macula, the ancient evil. Resonance embraces themes, places and eras that we had never explored before. Taking on this challenge was only possible with Focus Entertainment, who knows our world inside out and with whom we share common trust and ambition.”
“We are, once again, thrilled to work in collaboration with Asobo Studio. Our partnership proved, over the years, that we share a common passion and ambition for the franchise,” said John Bert, Managing Director at Focus Entertainment Publishing. “Expanding the world of A Plague Tale with Sophia, a character already close to our heart since Requiem, is exciting and we can’t wait to hear what our fans think! Blending myth and combat in this new opus promises to be a great opportunity for all to embark on a new adventure.”
Venture to a mythical island where danger awaits and unravel its secrets
Set 15 years before the events of Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run but determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story melding combat, myth and fate for a totally new take on the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’s Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, and solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon reveal itself. As you journey deeper into the island’s heart, you’ll confront the truth behind a long-buried curse…
- Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters.
- Shift between the Middle Ages period of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present. Unfold a new story in the universe of A Plague Tale through the entwined destinies of two heroes linked by fate and the Macula’s mysterious legacy.
- Guided by the knowledge safeguarded in your notebook, follow in your crew’s footsteps to explore a richly detailed world, unravel its secrets, and face deadly trials. Use a stolen Minoan sphere to solve ingenious puzzles by manipulating light – a force woven by Daedalus into the island’s very heart.
- It is said that only a few came back from the island. Lurking in the shadows lives a restless presence. It follows you around, seemingly knowing your every move, as it hunts through the island’s depths. Every step is a risk. Every pause, a potential end. You can’t stop, only hide, outsmart, and push forward. Can you survive each trial, or will you join those who never came back?
