    The many studios looking to continue Disco Elysium's legacy

    It's Disco Elysium's 5th anniversary

    It's been five years since Disco Elysium and its curious detective story, set in the fictional, post-communist city of Revachol, was released. Disco Elysium has since been heralded as one of the best games ever made, a testament to its complex conversation system and brilliant writing that blends a compelling mystery story with the deep world-building of Revachol's failed revolution. Disco Elysium is one of those games that comes up again and again - a testament of what games can be.

    After the game's success came the internal and external pressures of what would come next, and Disco Elysium maker ZA/UM seemingly started cracking under the weight of it all. It also makes sense that the undoing of ZA/UM - and the rebuilding of Disco Elysium's legacy - would be just as complicated as the game itself. ZA/UM, of course, still exists in some form, despite reportedly laying off its writing team: It has several job openings posted, including one published within the last month. ZA/UM also still holds the trademark for Disco Elysium in the United Kingdom, too.
