The short version
- In two weeks, Asobo Studio will deliver its most ambitious game yet.
- Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy , finds the French studio taking a crack at a full-on modern action game made at a AA scale.
- It’s a surprising follow-up to its Game of the Year-nominated A Plague Tale: Requiem , which was a stealth game, but it looks to continue building on the studio’s cinematic strengths in a new genre.
What happened
Though it might feel like Asobo Studio is a bright upstart that broke out onto the scene with A Plague Tale: Innocence in 2019, the studio has a much longer history than you might expect. In fact, Asobo Studio is responsible for a lot of games you may have grown up with that had nothing to do with the black plague — but one did feature a lot of rats.
Why it matters
Because I recently bought a copy of Ratatouille at the Long Island Gaming Expo, which came packaged with an expired ticket to the movie.
