"Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Set for 2026 Release, Unveiled at Xbox Games Showcase 2025"

Excitement is building as *Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy* has officially been announced during the Xbox Games Showcase, offering fans a deep dive into the origins of the beloved franchise. Set to launch in 2026, this new entry serves as a prequel to the original *A Plague Tale* games, taking place a full 15 years before the events of the first title.

The story follows Sophia, a young and resourceful scavenger on the run, who finds herself stranded on Minotaur's Island—a mysterious and dangerous location steeped in myth and ancient secrets. As she attempts to uncover the truth behind the island and her own identity, Sophia must also evade relentless pursuers while navigating a perilous maze filled with traps, puzzles, and hidden dangers. The game’s narrative cleverly transitions between two distinct time periods: the brutal world of the Middle Ages and the enigmatic era of ancient Minoa, adding depth and complexity to her journey.
