We go hands on with the fifth chapter of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, swiftly learning that there's plenty more stories left in this univese for Asobo Studio to tell.
I love the Plague Tale games. And yet, never in a million years, following the end of 2022’s A Plague Tale: Requiem, did I ever think we’d be getting another one. After all, the story of the De Rune children - Amicia and Hugo - and all the ways they were forced to survive the events of the black plague felt appropriately wrapped up come the sequel’s climactic end. And not only that, but wrapped up in a way that felt appropriately epic and satisfying - neither of which is easy to do.
The more I played through this latest preview build of upcoming prequel follow-up, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, then, the more it made sense to me why developer Asobo Studio wanted to stay in this universe. It offers a chance to enjoy this confidently established universe that already packs so much texture, but explores themes within it via a whole new means.
‘What if we plucked a familiar character from past games and placed them in a new part of the Plague Tale universe to see what happens?’ feels like the exact conversation that was had around the Asobo Studio pitch table. And it’s a good thing too. Since while Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy doesn’t much look or play like a Plague Tale game at all, that’s exactly what makes this swashbuckling adventure to an unknown, puzzle-filled island all the more alluring - both for newcomers and returning fans.
