Leak Unveils New Plague Tale Game Ahead of Official Announcement

A fresh scoop just dropped—seriously, like right before some big showcase, about a new game in the A Plague Tale series. Apparently, someone at Focus Entertainment slipped up and let the cat—or rat, I guess—out of the bag. There’s this new game supposedly called Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. And yes, I’m kinda hyped but also like, keeping my expectations in check. You never know these days, right?

So, if you’re new to the whole Plague Tale vibe—it’s kinda Asobo Studio’s shining moment. They used to do more low-key stuff, but then boom, A Plague Tale: Innocence came out. With those intense visuals and a gripping story, it was like, hello?! It pulled you into this messed-up world of sibling adventures against the backdrop of the Black Death. You know, rats everywhere, chaos, and somehow… gripping family feels? Crazy mix, but it worked.

Then they hit us with A Plague Tale: Requiem, dialing up the supernatural stuff and our girl Amicia trying to keep her little brother safe. He’s got this weird thing going on with the rats… which, BTW, why is nobody talking more about how creepy that is?

Okay, sidetracking. Anyway, this “leak” happened on June 5, when some now-gone Threads posts spilled the beans. They’re teasing that this new one, Resonance, might pop up in 2026 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Could even show face at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Who knows about the Switch 2, though? Probably a possibility, given the past releases, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

If the trailer’s anything to go by—not that I’ve seen it, thanks to the internet fairy dust disappearing act—it seems this game might kick off something new. Not a direct sequel but like a fresh page tied to the old tales? Classic move. There’s Sophia, the seafarer from Requiem; she might be central to this plot. Talk about picking intriguing characters.

Honestly, though, beyond the leak hype, details are hazy. The trailer hinted, the title intrigued, and, well, fingers are crossed that they don’t mess it up. Or maybe they will, but it’ll still be fun. The whole “Legacy” bit suggests a bit of a spin-off vibe rather than a straight follow-up, which has me curious. After all, who doesn’t love a good legacy story with rats involved?
