Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a prequel entry set 15 years before Hugo and Amicia’s journey to La Cuna Island in A Plague Tale: Requiem. At the start of the second game, Amicia is 15 years old, which means, during the events of Resonance: A Plague Tale, she’s either a child or has not been born.
Naturally, this means Amicia doesn’t join Sophia and her red-haired friend Leni during their adventures on Minotaur Island in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
NOTE: MAJOR STORY SPOILERS AHEAD for Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
That said, yes, Amicia is in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy. She appears briefly in the epilogue cutscene, when Sophia finishes narrating her harrowing escape from Minotaur Island.
Quick Summary
- Amicia appears in the epilogue cutscene.
- Several moments throw shades at Amicia’s journey in past games.
- Amicia can’t physically be present in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy as it takes place 15 years before her time.
Amicia’s role explained in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
As mentioned above, Amicia appears briefly in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy during the epilogue cutscene. The fact that Sophia is narrating the events of this game to Amicia is teased at the beginning of the story, but not revealed until the final cutscene.
Like Hugo, Sophia was one of the carriers of the Prima Macula. Through her story, Amicia learns about other carriers and protectors, such as Thesus and her younger brother. She even mentions the Order using other Carriers such as Sophia to hear the Macula’s call.
In totality, this feels like a setup for a proper sequel to Amicia’s story, as she ventures onwards to find other carriers alongside Sophia.
And that’s pretty much it! While Amicia isn’t physically present during the events of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, her presence is foreshadowed a few times. For instance, Sophia’s friend Leni once mentions shaving her head, which immediately reminded me of Amicia.
Leni herself resembles Amicia’s friend, Mélie from A Plague Tale: Innocence. Moreover, parts of Sophia’s journey in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy mirror Amicia’s. So while Hugo’s protector isn’t present in flesh, she’s somewhat present in spirit.
