Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Still Releasing In March

Despite a lack of recent updates on the game, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will still be released in March. Disco Elysium developer ZA / UM announced The Final Cut back at the Game Awards 2020 last December, a ‘staged’ style version of the game that would extend and expand the acclaimed RPG. This will also add full voice acting. Although Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was released on PS4, PS5, Stadia, and PC in March 2021, some fans have expressed concern that the game may miss the deadline.

However, according to a recent Discord communication from a member of the game’s development team, The Final Cut will be released in March “for sure”. ZA / UM’s publication manager Mikk Metsniit said the team’s radio silence was due to the coordination required to ensure the game launches properly on all four platforms. Metsniit’s public statement is in part due to “a lot of speculation [being] thrown. “

Disco Elysium is a highly literary take on the CRPG genre inspired by genre classics like Planescape: Torment as well as other works, like Emile Zola’s founding novel Germinal. As part of the original announcement, ZA / UM said Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will arrive on Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch later this summer. The Final Cut will be a free upgrade for existing owners of the original Disco Elysium. This will be the first time the game will be available on consoles. Disco Elysium is one of the most critically acclaimed games of the late 2010s, and GameSpot previously named it one of the Top 10 Games of 2019.
