Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy PS5 Controls

DualSense controller layout for Resonance on PlayStation 5 with combat, exploration, and puzzle bindings.

DualSense Layout

Resonance on PlayStation 5 uses the DualSense controller with layouts confirmed in preview sessions at Paris press events and IGN coverage. The action-oriented control scheme maps combat actions to face buttons and shoulder triggers for quick access during intense melee encounters.

DualSense haptic feedback enhances combat impacts and environmental interactions. Adaptive trigger resistance may activate during parry and block actions, providing tactile feedback for defensive timing.

Combat Bindings

Square (□) performs light attacks. Hold Square for critical strikes using the dagger finisher. Triangle (△) breaks enemy guards with kicks and handles interactions. Circle (○) dodges attacks and crouches for stealth. Cross (×) vaults obstacles during exploration.

L1 parries incoming attacks (tap) or blocks (hold). R1 activates the grappling hook. R2 throws objects and performs heavy contextual actions. L3 sprints. Enemies display yellow glows for parryable attacks and red for unblockable attacks requiring dodge.

Exploration and UI

D-Pad Up activates the Minoan Sphere for light puzzles. Touchpad opens the crew notebook for clues. Options button pauses the game. Triangle also handles all interaction prompts including stealth takedowns from ledges.

The PlayStation 5 version targets 60fps at dynamic 4K resolution with ray-traced reflections in select areas based on Asobo's typical PS5 optimization patterns.
