A new leak has surfaced just days before the Xbox Games Showcase, revealing what appears to be the next chapter in the A Plague Tale franchise. Titled Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, the game was accidentally teased by publisher Focus Entertainment through a pair of now-deleted posts on its official Threads account.
A Legacy Continues
The Plague Tale series has become a standout success for Asobo Studio, known for its evocative settings, emotionally gripping storytelling, and stealth-survival gameplay. The first game, A Plague Tale: Innocence, introduced players to siblings Amicia and Hugo, navigating a rat-infested, plague-ridden medieval France. Its sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, delved deeper into supernatural themes and the emotional weight of their relationship.
What Was Leaked?
According to screenshots and a teaser video captured by prominent gaming insider Wario64, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is targeting a 2026 release for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. The trailer features glimpses of a darker tone, possibly new characters, and environmental storytelling hinting at legacy themes—potentially extending or reinterpreting the original storylines.
Focus Entertainment has yet to officially confirm the game’s existence, but all signs point to a full reveal during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Notably, the teaser did not reference Nintendo’s newly released Switch 2, though a future release isn’t off the table, considering the prior titles were eventually ported to the Switch platform.
Fans React
The Plague Tale fanbase is buzzing with anticipation. While the leak wasn’t meant to be public, it has only heightened curiosity about how Asobo will evolve the narrative. The subtitle “Legacy” suggests a thematic focus on the long-term consequences of Hugo’s condition and Amicia’s choices—something longtime fans are eager to explore.
Leaks like this are always a double-edged sword: they generate hype but also steal some thunder from official reveals. Regardless, the return of A Plague Tale is exciting news for fans of emotional storytelling and immersive gameplay. If the leak holds true, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy could be one of the most anticipated titles of 2026.
