  • As you know, in Disco Elysium: The Final Cut there will be a lot of new voice acting. Almost all dialogues, previously presented exclusively in the form of text, will be fully voiced in the new version. The reason is to make the project more attractive to the console audience, which, according to the developers, is not used to narrative adventure games, which are presented mainly through text.
  • Working on the console port Disco Elysium passed without any difficulty. Even the global pandemic did not greatly interfere with the plans ZA / UM, whose team consists of many specialists in different parts of the world. The most difficult part of the production was the recording of the above-mentioned voice acting – as many as three sound engineers and several dozen actors worked on it at the same time.
  • Besides the voice acting, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will bring with it various technical and visual improvements. The artists restored some of the character portraits, added new animations, sound effects and lights. At the same time, the project was successfully adapted for gamepads – the control layout fits well with the available control buttons and makes it easy to immerse yourself in the process of passing.
  • One of the key new features Disco Elysium: The Final Cut additional quests will become. They will be on the political side of the story and allow players to dive deeper into this aspect of the story. Some of the tasks were invented at the development stage of the original version, but due to lack of time they did not make it into the final build. Now the command ZA / UM interpreted old ideas in a new way and prepared several unique narrative branches, differing from each other both in content and general mood.
  • According to the data ZA / UMSince its release in the fall of 2019, the original Disco Elysium has surpassed one million copies sold. For developers, this is a phenomenal success. They did not expect the project to reach the mass player.
  • What exactly ZA / UM will be engaged after the release of Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, is still unknown. However, the developers hastened to reassure the fans – the studio will continue to work in full force, and will tell about the plans when it is ready.
