More details have come to light on the cancelled standalone spin-off for acclaimed RPG Disco Elysium.
Back in February, it was revealed that work on this project, codenamed X7, had been stopped, along with news of layoffs at developer ZA/UM. At this time, it was claimed the spin-off was only “one to two years away from completion”.
Now, in a report by PC Gamer with current and former employees of ZA/UM Studio, lead writer Dora Klindžić has said this release would have been “110 percent authentic” and the “most hardcore Disco since Disco”.
X7 “would have advanced the story, the emotional threads, and gameplay elements all at once to truly evolve the genre of psychological RPG as Disco Elysium started it,” Klindžić said. “For a while it seemed like miracles were possible, and with them, redemption.”
