Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Price, Editions & Pre-Order Guide

The Collector Box does not include the game, it is a standalone collector's package.

Price by platform

Editions explained

There is a standard edition and the IGN-exclusive Collector Box ($169). The Collector Box is physical merchandise, it does not include the game.

Collector Box contents ($169)

• Sophia & Theseus figurine (23 cm, individually numbered, hand-painted)
• Exclusive SteelBook
• 3 previously unreleased A5 art prints (14.8 × 21 cm)
• Adjustable metal ring replica
• An exclusive bonus offered with all pre-orders

Pre-order bonus: Heritage Pack

The Heritage Pack ($3.99 standalone) adds:

• Minoan Sword, every third hit unleashes a powerful strike that stuns the enemy.
• Alec's Pendant, boosts all charm stats.
• Digital artbook, behind-the-scenes artwork.

Game Pass alternative

The base game is included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass at no extra cost, the cheapest way to play if you already subscribe. The Heritage Pack DLC remains a separate purchase.

Where to buy

• Steam, $49.99
• Xbox / Microsoft Store
• PlayStation Store
• IGN Store, Collector Box

Regional pricing varies: the China Steam store lists ¥199. For comparing legitimate key prices across stores, check a tracker like GG.Deals or a store like Instant Gaming before buying, prices shift frequently, and regional stores (e.g. the China store at ¥199) can be much cheaper than your local one.

Is the Collector Box worth it?

The honest answer is that the $169 Collector Box is priced for collectors, not players. Break the contents down and the value concentrates in one item:

• The 23 cm Sophia & Theseus figurine, hand-painted and individually numbered. This is the piece doing almost all the work at this price point; comparable licensed game statues typically sell for $120-180 on their own.
• The SteelBook, a display case you'll see once on a shelf. Nice to have, not a reason to buy.
• Three A5 art prints and a ring replica, genuine but small; the ring is adjustable and wearable, but it's a novelty item, not jewellery.
• The pre-order bonus, an extra only offered at pre-order, so ordering late misses it.

The catch that matters: the box does not include the game. You're spending $169 on merchandise on top of a $49.99-$59.99 purchase. If you collect game statues and display them, the figurine alone justifies the box for you. If you're buying it for gameplay value, it's the worst value in the lineup, the game plus the Heritage Pack comes to under $55, and Game Pass subscribers pay nothing extra for the base game.

Is the Heritage Pack pre-order bonus worth it?

At $3.99, the Heritage Pack is the cheapest purchase in the game's lineup, and it's the only one that changes how the combat plays. The two items are worth looking at separately:

• Minoan Sword, every third hit unleashes a powerful strike that stuns the enemy. In a game where Normal difficulty gives you 3 HP and parry windows are tight, a rhythm-based stun every three hits turns crowd fights from a scramble into a controlled sequence. It's a genuine playstyle change, not a stat boost.
• Alec's Pendant, boosts all charm stats. Since Charms work on proc chances (crit damage, surviving fatal hits, etc.), a flat boost across every equipped Charm compounds quickly the more Charms you stack.
• Digital artbook, a making-of gallery. Nice for fans; irrelevant to gameplay.

Verdict: if you're on Game Pass, this $3.99 is likely the only money you'll spend on the game, and it makes the combat measurably easier. If you're buying the game outright at $49.99, the DLC is still cheap, but it's optional, and the base game's difficulty modes already cover the "too hard" scenario.
