In an interview with TechRadar Gaming at Gamescom ahead of the launch of the studio's latest game, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy , Valrian Robert (lead level designer), Carol Ann Bauls (lead writer), and actor Anna Demetriou, who played the part of Resonance protagonist Sophia were asked about its next project and confirmed that a modern-day spin-off is something they're asked about frequently. "Absolutely," Bauls replied when asked if the setting would be a good pick for Asobo. "Definitely. Personally, I think so. I think it would be great."

Demetriou said, "It's one of the things a lot of people ask me about," with Bauls adding, "It would be really Last of Us kind of."

Bauls went on to say that, "Yeah, definitely, because it was a big inspiration. So yeah, if it's in modern days, it would be great." You may
like Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy's preview has Uncharted vibes and I love it Asobo Studio used the soundtrack from A Plague Tale: Requiem during Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy mocap to help the cast 'get into the sadder moments, the darker moments' Resonance: A Plague Tale's action-adventure
focus feels a bit safe compared to the franchise's previous entries, but it still offers an infectious combination of combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration that's hard to put down

In the A Plague Tale universe, the Prima Macula is an ancient curse that poisons the blood of certain families and is something that appears in every major A Plague Tale game, including Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy . Demetriou thinks the Macula would work very well in a modern-day setting, because the plague is "fantastical."

"It would be amazing," Demetriou continued, "I would love that to fit into a modern-day setting. Yeah, it would be interesting to see what that would look like. I would love that."
