Guides
One question at a time.
Spoilers on your terms.
Every page starts from a real question: how many chapters, whether it's on Game Pass, whether this is a spinoff or the mainline, and how long Sophia's journey takes.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the prequel to Asobo Studio's A Plague Tale series, published by Focus Entertainment on August 27, 2026. You play Sophia on Minotaur's Island, years before Amicia and Hugo's story. The pages below cover that arc with sources and verified dates: the overview orients you, the guide hub routes your next decision, and the release and Game Pass pages settle the purchase questions. Each page leads with the answer, then shows where it came from.
