Asobo Studio's next Plague Tale game is a prequel arriving in 2026
Asobo Studio announced at the Xbox Games Showcase that its new entry in the Plague Tale series is a prequel set 15 years before its last game. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is focused on the smuggler Sophia from A Plague Tale: Requiem , and is scheduled to be released in 2026.
Based on the brief description from the game's trailer, Resonance follows a young Sophia as she "seeks her independence as a fierce plunderer in the unforgiving world of the 14th century." The trailer shows Sophia on the run, escaping conflict, exploring mysterious ruins, and generally being pursued by danger, alongside more ominous vignettes showcasing Asobo's typically lush visuals.
If surviving a plague made the first two games seem grim, escaping a flaming ship or battling in a gladiatorial arena doesn't make Sophia's past adventures seem all that more for fun. Still, there's very little to go on, and quite a bit more to learn before Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy comes out in 2026.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is currently set to be released on Xbox Series X / S, PS5, PC and Xbox Cloud Streaming. It'll also be available from day one through Xbox Game Pass.

Heartbroken Rescue Dog Loses Young Owner to Cancer, Hasn't Stopped 'Crying'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Unfortunately, grief is an emotion that many will experience at some point in their lives, but we certainly aren't the only ones. The internet has been reduced to tears by the heartbreaking sight of a dog grieving her owner, who passed away at the age of just 25. On June 27, Sophia Ghadoushi tragically passed away due to glioblastoma brain cancer, leaving behind her parents, sister, and her rescue dog, Daisy. The loss has been devastating for the entire family, as her older sister Meagan Ghadoushi, 28, told Newsweek that she feels "completely unanchored" without Sophia by her side. "She passed away at just 25, which still feels impossible to say out loud," Meagan, of Los Angeles, California, said. "Our parents divorced when we were really young, so Sophia was the one constant in my life—I saw her every day into adulthood. She was my best friend, my safe person." The family rescued Daisy in 2012, and she used to be so full of energy and excitement all the time. Later this year, she'll turn 13, and she'll be doing so without her best friend by her side.

Daisy, the 12-year-old rescue dog, laying on the sofa. @meaganghadoushi / TikTok Meagan explained that when she left for college, "Sophia really became Daisy's mom" and their connection strengthened. They were each other's world and truly inseparable. "They had such a pure and beautiful bond. Sophia gave her endless love, kisses every day, sunbathing together in the backyard, drives to get pup cups from Starbucks. Daisy lit up around her," Meagan continued. Following Sophia's passing, Meagan and her parents are splitting Daisy's time between their homes to ensure she always has company and support. The loss hasn't been any easier for Daisy, who has lost her spark and joy. Now, Daisy, who is thought to be a Labrador, terrier, and pit bull mix, just sleeps and cries all day. Meagan said: "She's a completely different dog now. She sleeps, cries, and barely has any energy. It's not just Sophia she's grieving. My dad, who is also like a second parent to her, can't play with her anymore because of his health. She's confused and hurting. You can see it in her eyes. "To watch Daisy mourning Sophia feels like another kind of loss. I know she doesn't understand what happened. I can't explain to her why the world suddenly feels so different, and that's what kills me the most." Meagan's dad suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and was hospitalized during Sophia's final weeks. While awaiting surgery, he managed to leave the hospital for just two hours in order to say goodbye to his daughter and was able to attend the funeral. A day after burying Sophia, he matched with a lung donor, and his transplant took place two days later. Having seen such a stark change in Daisy's behavior, Meagan even took her to the vet to rule out any medical illness. The vet confirmed what the family suspected—the senior dog is grieving. Just like humans, grief can affect dogs in different ways. The website PetMD highlights the common signs including demanding attention more often, being clingy, seeking less affection, increased sleep, eating less, being more vocal, and seeking out their loved one's favorite spot. Family and friends can help pets by sticking to daily routines and maintaining consistency, offering extra attention, and providing mentally stimulating toys. As Meagan learns to cope with her grief, she has been documenting many of her experiences on TikTok (@meaganghadoushi). Among her videos, she shared a clip revealing that Daisy hasn't stopped "sleeping and crying" since the loss. In just a matter of days, the video has gone viral with over 1 million views and more than 190,000 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Meagan told Newsweek that being able to share her journey online has "been a lifeline" and she's overwhelmed by the supportive community. "People have been incredibly kind, sharing their own stories and showing so much love for Daisy. People keep thanking me for taking her in, but I couldn't imagine anything else. She's part of my sister. It feels like I still have a piece of Sophia with me. "I miss my sister more than words. Taking care of Daisy is painful and beautiful at the same time. It reminds me of what I've lost, but also gives me a way to keep loving Sophia through the grief." Meagan also hopes this serves as a reminder for other owners to put a contingency plan together for their pets, should anything bad ever happen to them. Seeing Daisy grieve has left plenty of social media users in tears, leading to more than 4,300 comments on TikTok so far. One comment reads: "This broke my heart and one of my biggest fears. They'll just think I don't love them anymore and left them." Another TikTok user wrote: "After my dad passed away his dog took a year of grieving before she wagged her little tail again." While one commenter added: "She's just visiting mom in her dreams." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!

Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Why Comedies and Family Movies Don't Often Get Oscar Recognition
It's rare to see a true comedy film in contention at the Oscars, and rarer still to see a lighthearted family film up for consideration. And, in a recent interview, Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis had a guess as to why that might be. Sitting down with Canadian television show Etalk in support of her new film 'Freakier Friday' (in theaters, fittingly, this Friday), Curtis and her co-star Sophia Hammons responded to questions sent in by fans via text message. One such message asked Curtis specifically for her take on why 'more lighthearted/family movies don't win Oscars nowadays.' More from TheWrap Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Why Comedies and Family Movies Don't Often Get Oscar Recognition | Video Sony Sees 23% Increase in Profit From Gaming Despite Uneven Quarter for Film Dick's Sporting Goods Launches In-House Production Studio Warner Bros. Lays Out Plans for 12-14 Theatrical Releases a Year Across DC, New Line and Other Labels 'It's a very good question. Comedies and family movies do not land as serious,' Curtis said. 'Oscars have a more serious sort of vibe to them.' Curtis then asked Hammons if she personally considered 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' a drama or a comedy. Directed by the duo known as The Daniels (Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan), the movie earned Curtis her first Oscar back in 2023 for Best Supporting Actress. That fact is something Curtis was still in awe about at the start of the question. Hammons quickly answered with drama, but just as quickly conceded that the film had comedic elements as well, with Curtis noting, 'It's pretty funny.' With that juxtaposition, Curtis didn't have a concrete answer for the fan's text, admitting she doesn't know for sure. So, her reply text was simple: 'Good question no idea.' When asked in a follow-up question whether there are any children's films that Curtis and Hammons think deserved an Oscar but were snubbed, they were quick to keep it in the Disney family, immediately naming the 1998 animated film 'Mulan.' 'Freakier Friday' hits theaters on Friday, Aug. 8. The post Jamie Lee Curtis Explains Why Comedies and Family Movies Don't Often Get Oscar Recognition | Video appeared first on TheWrap.
