Play as Sophia, the Sea Scorpion, in a new “original story” involving “ancient secrets” and a battle with a “mythical creature.”
Focus Entertainment has revealed the next A Plague Tale title, and it appears to be a spin-off of sorts called Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. As showcased in a short teaser on Threads (with the full trailer likely debuting at the Xbox Games Showcase), the story focuses on Sophia from A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Players must āUnravel ancient secrets and confront a mythical creature at the heart of a devastating curseā in an āoriginal story.ā Developed by Asobo Studio, itās launching in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Unlike Requiem, thereās no mention of a day-one launch on Game Pass.
Those who played the second game will know Sophia as the Sea Scorpion, a smuggler who helps Amicia and Hugo to the island seen in the latterās dreams. Sheās a skilled navigator and helmsman and, based on the teaser gameplay, can handle herself in fights with a cutlass. Compared to the more stealth-heavy gameplay of earlier titles, this could be a major shift.
The Xbox Games Showcase airs on June 8th at 10 AM PDT, so stay tuned for a potential announcement.
