Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy serves as a prequel to the previous two games in the A Plague Tale franchise, introducing a new main character and a greater focus on combat. However, it still delivers the same narrative-focused journey that fans of the series have come to love, meaning you can expect a linear experience that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
But just how long does it take to see the adventure through to the end? Let’s find out.
How Long Does It Take to Beat Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy?
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy should take the average player around 15 hours to complete. This prequel is a straightforward adventure, so while some chapters feature areas with slightly more open layouts to provide a greater sense of scale, there is always a single linear path forward. Between exploring these areas, you’ll need to solve a variety of puzzles and take part in scripted combat encounters.
The game’s linearity doesn’t mean there aren’t secrets to find, though. For those who enjoy exploring, there are plenty of collectibles to discover in the form of relics, along with a variety of charms and blades that can significantly affect your effectiveness in combat. Finding them requires some thorough searching, as a few are better hidden than you might expect. Luckily, the chapter selection option makes cleaning up any missed collectibles less tedious.
If you’re aiming to see and do everything in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, you can squeeze even more time out of the game. This is especially true if you want to obtain every trophy or achievement, as you’ll need to complete several additional tasks during combat and chase encounters while also finding all of the aforementioned collectibles. That could keep some players busy for up to 20 hours, though your total playtime will vary depending on whether you follow a guide or search for everything on your own.
