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 “Unravel ancient secrets and confront a mythical creature at the heart of a devastating curse” in an “original story.” Developed by Asobo Studio, it’s launching in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Unlike Requiem, there’s 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 latter’s dreams. She’s 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.
