We’ve got ZA/UM, Red Info, and now Longdue laying claim to the Disco legacy.
Disco Elysium 2 is dead, long live Disco Elysium spiritual successors. Newly-revealed studio Longdue has announced that it is working on a Disco-inspired RPG, with a “dozen strong” staff that includes some former members of Studio ZA/UM.
Whatever Longdue is working on, it seems a long way off, with the game having yet to be assigned an official name. The studio’s first press release includes an evocative bit of concept art showing three shadowed figures looking through a triangular window in some kind of cave or ruin. Longdue says its game “explores the delicate interplay between the conscious and subconscious, the seen and unseen”, and that “choices ripple between the character’s psyche and environment.” Longdue has also coined the term “psychogeographic RPG” for its upcoming game, which sounds classically Disco and speaks to that theme of psychology warping reality.
