With respective Disco Elysium spiritual successors successful the works from erstwhile staff, contention regarding the exits of cardinal squad members down the beloved RPG, and an in-development enlargement cancelled, you mightiness person been wondering what Studio ZA/UM volition bash next. Well, that reply is here. In a caller presumption held for the press, ZA/UM revealed a archetypal look astatine their adjacent game. It's called C4 and it's astir espionage.
The presumption was led by Jim Ashilevi, the pb dependable implicit manager connected Disco Elysium, and Siim "Kosmos" Sinamäe, a shaper and writer for the RPG, who are some serving arsenic writers connected this caller game. Right disconnected the bat, Sinamäe made 1 happening rather clear: "This is not Disco Elysium 2, this is C4." The writer went connected to explicate that ZA/UM has "spent the past 3 years processing this marque new, gripping, wholly archetypal world, exploring a taxable that each and each subordinate of the ZA/UM corporate is inherently obsessed with: espionage."
While the presumption didn't connection a look astatine thing in-game, a abbreviated teaser trailer for C4 was shown which mostly consisted of a pistillate with a London accent talking successful a precise Disco Elysium-y benignant of way, acceptable to immoderate precise chill looking art. Story details were beauteous slim too, but Ashilevi did explicate that "C4 is each astir spy games, allegiances, and betrayals. It is not 007, with his leader complex, the Bond girls, the gadgets. It is much similar Slow Horses, doing the enactment you emotion adjacent if it does not get you immoderate fame oregon parades. No heroes, lone the stench of failure." Failing guardant volition besides seemingly beryllium a large portion of what sets the crippled apart, with Ashilevi saying the squad is making "failure a joyousness successful itself".
This presumption is conscionable portion 1 of two, arsenic ZA/UM is besides seemingly making an quality astatine GDC aboriginal this month, wherever it volition presumably speech much astir the game.
C4 is evidently the archetypal task pursuing the departure of Disco Elysium decorator Robert Kurvitz, writer Helen Hindpere and creator Aleksander Rostov successful 2021. What followed has been a bid of messy ineligible battles, a documentary that alleged toxicity from Kurvitz and more, and respective antithetic games claiming to beryllium spiritual successors. I'm looking guardant to uncovering retired if the OG ZA/UM tin chopped done each of that noise.
