Disco Elysium 'spiritual successor' in development at new video game studio

A new developer, Longdue, is being set up to develop a "spiritual successor" to the award-winning 2019 computer role-playing game Disco Elysium. The new studio currently comprises 12 people, including some who worked on the original game and on its cancelled sequel, and former staff from Bungie (Destiny, Halo) and Rockstar (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption). Its debut game is described in a press release as "a psychogeographic RPG" that "explores the delicate interplay between the conscious and subconscious, the seen and unseen. Set in a world where choices ripple between the character's psyche and environment, players will navigate a constantly shifting landscape, shaped by both internal and external forces." The Bafta-winning Disco Elysium, which has you playing a depressed alcoholic detective in a city whose inhabitants still bear the scars of a war that took place decades previously, is regarded as one of the best computer RPGs ever made, and has spent several years at the top of PC Gamer's list of the 100 best PC games.
