New Adventures from Disco Elysium Creators Await Fans
Disco Elysium, a 2019 narrative role-playing game by ZA/UM, revolutionized the gaming world with its unique gameplay. Instead of combat, it focused on dialogue trees, allowing players to explore different ideologies through the amnesiac detective protagonist. The game's success was immense, winning numerous awards and selling millions of copies. However, due to internal disputes, a sequel was never realized. But worry not, because two new studios, Dark Math Games and Longdue Games, are stepping up with their own spiritual successors.
The Rise of Dark Math Games
Founded in 2023, Dark Math Games emerges as a "dissident group" from the original Disco Elysium team. With twenty members, half of whom contributed to the acclaimed success of the original game, they are now working on their new project, XXX NIGHTSHIFT.
This game, set in 2086, features Dinorah Katz, a patrol officer stranded in a luxury ski resort in Antarctica. The setting promises a unique sci-fi experience with intriguing mysteries and a polar night that hides many sins.
- Deep solo RPG experience
- Unique companion dynamics
- Innovative gameplay system
- Radical choices affecting the story
Dark Math aims to innovate traditional RPG mechanics while infusing fresh elements into the genre.
Introducing Longdue Games
Longdue Games is also making waves with their announcement of a new psychological RPG. This studio includes talent from Bungie, Rockstar, and Brave At Night, all contributing to a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium.
Longdue's game explores the delicate interplay between the conscious and subconscious, where every decision reshapes both the world and its inhabitants. The game promises a constantly evolving narrative landscape.
With a focus on psychological depth and narrative-driven experiences, Longdue aims to become a significant voice in the isometric RPG space.
The Future of Disco Elysium's Legacy
While neither Robert Kurvitz nor Aleksander Rostov, key figures behind Disco Elysium, are involved with these new studios, the spirit of the game lives on. They are reportedly working on their own project at Red Info, backed by NetEase.
ZA/UM, on the other hand, has canceled a standalone expansion for Disco Elysium, leaving its future uncertain. Yet, the passion for the game's legacy continues to inspire new creations.
