Her haircut and fresh scar narrow down the time even further, to right at the end of that game. <em>Requiem<\/em>&#8216;s final chapter has a short time jump that takes place after <em>Resonance<\/em>&#8216;s post-credits scene (as Amicia&#8217;s scar is now healed). It shows her and Sophia preparing to leave on a journey to find the next carrier of the plague following the death of the previous person who bore that title: Amicia&#8217;s brother Hugo. This sets up a direct sequel to <em>Requiem<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Requiem<\/em>, like <em>Resonance<\/em>, had a post-credits scene of its own. The short teaser showed a baby infected with the Macula, the game&#8217;s plague. Audio cues that sound like hospital devices suggest the scene jumps centuries in the future to a modern-day setting. As in-game lore reveals that the Macula appears in a new carrier roughly every 800 years, that would suggest the scene occurs in about 2150. A game set after <em>Requiem <\/em>could bring the series to our near-future.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-resonance-a-plague-tale-legacy-39-s-post-credits-scene-teases-more-sophia-spin-off-games\">\n                        How <em>Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy<\/em>&#8216;s post-credits scene teases more Sophia spin-off games<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p>The post-credits scene isn&#8217;t just about Amicia or the future. At the end of their conversation, Amicia asks Sophia how she met Arnaud, another character from <em>Requiem<\/em>. Sophia tells her that it is a long story. <em>Requiem <\/em>only vaguely gestures at Sophia and Arnaud&#8217;s first meeting, making it the perfect event to base another potential spin-off around.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of <em>Resonance<\/em>, Sophia still has 15 years until the events of <em>Innocence<\/em>. That is a lot of time in which plenty of swashbuckling adventures could play out. Sophia is a fascinating character and watching her become the smuggler we know in <em>Requiem <\/em>would be the perfect arc for a series of games.
