About the Game

A New Chapter in the Plague Tale Saga

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the third installment in the A Plague Tale series and a prequel to A Plague Tale: Requiem. Set in 1334 — 15 years earlier — it follows Sophia, a fierce young plunderer on the run, as she journeys to the Minotaur's Island in Crete. There she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous ruins, solves light-based puzzles and fights to stay one step ahead of the army chasing her. A dual-timeline mechanic lets her shift between the Middle Ages and ancient Minoan times, where the echoes of Theseus' trials shape the battles of the present.
