Forget About the GTA 6 Extended Look, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Deserves Your Attention

Not all the attention should go to GTA...

Quick Answer: Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy launches on August 27, 2026, offering a tightly paced, story-driven AA adventure alongside GTA 6's Extended Look showcase.

While the internet is consumed with the news of Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look, I'd like to redirect you to Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy instead.

Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto 6: An Extended Look, a special that will give players a new look at the game. The showcase will premiere on Netflix and then launch on YouTube hours after.

And while I understand the hype, I hope people won't forget Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, which comes out on the same day as the extended look.

Let's Not Forget Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Is Releasing Too

The extended look is officially coming out on Netflix and YouTube on August 27 - the same day as Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.

An animated promotional image for "Grand Theft Auto VI," featuring two characters in front of a gas station. One character is holding a gun and wearing a bandana, while the other is styled with casual clothing. The background includes palm trees and a vintage car, with text announcing an extended look on Netflix.

With all the hubbub around GTA 6 - and now the announcement of this special - I understand why people may have forgotten Resonance. But as much as I look forward to the open-world chaos, I am still far more drawn to the intimate, story-first approach of A Plague Tale Legacy.

Asobo Studio has proved time and time again that their strength is in crafting stories that wreck you emotionally. With GTA 6 ramping up their marketing, I hope people don't forget a game that will most likely make you feel something.

It seems like everyone has already forgotten the previews for Resonance - how it felt like a darker, more refined version of the previous Plague Tale entries. I am excited to see more of Vice City and the massive open-world map, but I'm much more excited to explore the medieval streets of Resonance.

While GTA 6 will likely give us high-stakes tension, I am someone who appreciates a game that offers deliberate, slow-burn tension. And that's what I'm expecting from Resonance. I expect the game will feature puzzles, potions, and tasks that let us use our brains rather than mashing buttons to shoot an enemy.

I'm afraid that people forgetting that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is coming out will cause the industry to overlook soulful, tightly paced AA games that enrich the gaming industry. I am hopeful that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy doesn't flop, as it seems like a great game that will prove intentional journeys can do just as well as games with open-world filler.
