Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio has unveiled 7 minutes of extended gameplay footage for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, ahead of its launch on 27th August.
This new entry in the critically acclaimed A Plague Tale saga takes a direction centered on direct and challenging combat, as players step in the shoes of young and fierce Sophia, determined to uncover the secrets of her past.
Alongside tense stealth mechanics that match Resonance’s unnerving atmosphere, today’s trailer showcases the game’s visceral combat system. Against large groups of enemies, Sophia must rely on agility and brutal efficiency. Players will need to master precise parries and chain fast-paced attack combos with Sophia’s dagger and sword.
Sophia can also turn the environment to her advantage, using her versatile grappling hook to pull enemies closer or hurl them into deadly hazards, allowing her to control the flow of battle.
Beyond combat, exploration is driven by intricate ancient puzzles built around the manipulation of light. Solving these challenges is essential for Sophia to progress across the island and uncover the secrets hidden within its darkest depths.
As she progresses in the depths of the Minotaur’s Island, Sophia begins experiencing flashbacks to the Minoan era. She soon realises that the mysterious presence resonating within her is none other than the legendary hero Theseus, who lived centuries before her time.
Through the eyes of Theseus, she will face even more brutal and demanding trials. As new allies emerge and new enemies awaken, signs of a terrifying entity lurking in the shadows begin to surface across both eras, despite over 2000 years that separate them.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy launches on 27th August.
