Frequently asked questions

The official description never mentions them. It sells the game on Crete, the Minotaur's Island, a maze, parry-based melee combat and the Macula — for a series that put a rat swarm on two covers, leaving them out of the pitch is a choice. Whether any appear in the fourteen chapters is not something the published material settles.

Five independent no-commentary full runs land between seven and nine hours, with a median of 7h 54m. Those skip nearly all optional exploration; a player who completed everything put a normal first playthrough at fifteen to twenty hours at the outside.

A single-player action-adventure. Melee combat built around parrying, light-based puzzles, and exploration — not stealth-survival the way the earlier games were, and not open world.

No. It runs through fourteen authored chapters, each divided into sub-chapters you can replay individually once the story is done.

It is already here. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the third game in the series and released on 27 August 2026.

A prequel. It is set in 1334, fifteen years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, which makes it the third game released and the first chronologically.

No. It is a standalone game with its own store page, price and achievement list. There is a separate paid pack that adds an extra blade.

The game follows Sophia, who first appeared in Requiem as an ally to Amicia and Hugo. This is her backstory, set before their story begins.

No. Nothing in it depends on knowing how the de Rune story goes, because chronologically that story has not happened yet.

14. Thirteen of them award a hidden achievement on completion, and the fourteenth is an epilogue with no collectibles in it.

6.2% of Steam owners hold the achievement for clearing every chapter. That figure comes from Steam's own public achievement statistics and moves daily.

One thing is missable, and it is not a collectible. Resonance Points do not carry over through chapter select, and buying every skill in the six mastery branches needs 165 of the 200 inside a single playthrough. Everything else can be cleaned up after the credits.

275 across five types. Chapter select tells you which chapter each missing one is in, so a clean-up pass is targeted rather than a second playthrough.

Yes, on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Steam build is Windows only — there is no macOS or Linux version.

The Steam entry lists it as single-player and lists no co-op or multiplayer mode.

No New Game Plus is listed. What the game does have is chapter select, unlocked by finishing the story, which lets you drop back into any chapter to pick up what you missed — for collection purposes that does the job without a second run.

Yes, from day one, and it supports Xbox Play Anywhere.

No. It is on PlayStation 5 as well as Xbox and PC.

16 GB of memory, a DirectX 12 GPU with DX12.1 and Shader Model 6.6, a 4-core/8-thread CPU, and 75 GB of storage — with an SSD listed in the minimum spec rather than the recommended one.
