The creators ofDisco Elysiumshocked everyone with the release of their game in late 2019. ZA/UM’s cynical isometric RPG collected tons of Game of the Year nominations, plus quite a few awards, too. But short of sales, bug fixes, and localization efforts, ZA/UM’s been surprisingly silent in 2020. If there are more plans forDisco Elysium, or something to come after, fans have been left in anticipation. However, that may be changing, as ZA/UM’s now teasing a forthcoming announcement.
The officialDisco Elysiumwebsite has been updated as of Wednesday morning. The website’s landing page now features a big red splash image and at its center are the star-and-antler symbol of the Revacholian communists and the Revolution, as well as the word “Soon.” The implication clearly being thatZA/UMhas an announcement that’s related toDisco Elysiumto share in the near future.

What ZA/UM’s announcement may be remains a complete mystery, of course. Given that it has only been a year since the launch ofDisco Elysium, expectations should probably be managed. The announcement could be related toDisco Elysiumbeing ported to consoles. It could be as small as a confirmation of its in-development localizations, too. But fans are probably hoping for something more. There’s at least a chance of some new DLC content, or perhaps even a full-fledged expansion.
The timing of ZA/UM’s teaser is also interesting. Tomorrow night,The Game Awards 2020will feature well over a dozen new game announcements and reveals. TheDisco Elysiumannouncement could be one of them. It could just be a timing coincidence, too. Regardless,Disco Elysiumfans should look forward to some fun news in the relatively near future.
Disco Elysiumis available now on PC, with plans to launch on PS4, Switch, and Xbox One in 2021.
