Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Controls

Control Overview

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy uses a control scheme tailored to its action-adventure combat and exploration. Sophia's moveset includes melee attacks, parries, dodges, grappling hook maneuvers, and Minoan Sphere interactions — each mapped to intuitive inputs across all platforms.

The game supports full control remapping on PC and partial remapping on consoles. Preview builds shown at Xbox Games Showcase 2026 and IGN hands-on sessions confirm the layouts below, though final bindings may receive minor adjustments before the August 27, 2026 launch.

Platform-Specific Guides

Each platform has dedicated pages with complete binding tables. PC players benefit from mouse aiming for the grappling hook and keyboard shortcuts for quick weapon swaps. PlayStation 5 players can use DualSense adaptive triggers during parry sequences. Xbox Series X|S players gain Xbox Play Anywhere cross-save functionality.

Combat Controls at a Glance

Combat is the heart of Resonance's control design. Light attacks chain into combos, charged critical strikes use the dagger for finishers, and the parry/block button responds to yellow (parryable) and red (unblockable) enemy indicators inspired by Ghost of Tsushima. The kick button breaks enemy guards, while dodge rolls provide invincibility frames.
