In brief

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy arrives on August 27, 2026 at 6:00 PM French time, simultaneously on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. This prequel from Asobo Studio drops stealth in favor of melee combat and plunges you into Sophia's origins, fifteen years before the events of Requiem.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy unlocks on Thursday, August 27, 2026 at noon ET and 9:00 AM PT. Its Steam page and the Microsoft catalogue give the same value: 16:00 UTC, or 5:00 PM BST in London and 6:00 PM in Paris.

The trigger is global: no platform is served ahead of the others. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC all flip at the same second, whether you are in New York at midday, in Los Angeles at 9:00 AM or in Tokyo at 1:00 AM on August 28. Budget €49.99 on PC, with full English voice acting.

On the subscription side, xbox.com does file the game among the upcoming releases on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass; the Essential and Premium plans are not listed. You play as Sophia, fifteen years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, on the Minotaur's island.

Clear some room first: Steam asks for 75 GB of disk space. No preload window, on the other hand, has been officially announced by Focus Entertainment. Our June preview is still worth a read.
