'Disco Elysium' (ALL) The Final Cut Announced For Current And Next-Gen Platforms - Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 10, 2020 @ 6:05 p.m. PST

Disco Elysium is a blend of isometric RPG and hard-boiled cop show set in a unique urban fantasy world.

What kind of cop are you? Good cop? Bad cop? Utter failure? That is the question explored in Disco Elysium.

You play a disgraced lieutenant detective in Revachol West, a shore town where corruption’s out of control, murders go unsolved, and the kids just wanna dance. Kick in doors, interrogate suspects, or get lost exploring a gorgeously rendered city and unraveling its mysteries. All the while, tensions rise around you as Revachol threatens to explode.

Disco Elysium’s completely original skill system makes your innermost feelings, doubts, and memories an integral part of every conversation. Level up your rational faculties, sharpen your wits, or give in to your basest instincts. What kind of cop you are is up to you.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut will include full voice acting for Revachol’s beautiful people as well as new quests and unseen areas to explore. All existing players of the game will receive a free full upgrade to The Final Cut on their current platform.

New Features:

  • New Political Vision Quests: Face the reality of your worldview as your political compass leads you down new paths. Discover more citizens, a whole extra area, and monumental sights as you leave an even bigger mark on the world by chasing your dreams.
  • Full Voice Acting: All of the city's beautiful people are brought to life with full voiceover. Play characters against each other, try to help them, or fall hopelessly in love as each word is spoken to you with the appropriate accent and emotion.
  • Improved Playability: Full controller support and customisation lets you play with your preferred setup. Enjoy an expanded range of language options. See the difference when playing in 4K resolution and at 60 frames per second on PlayStation 5.
  • Real Role-playing: Customise your character with wildly different skills, clothing items, and tools – from guns to a flashlight and a boombox. Develop new ​ideas in the detective’s Thought Cabinet to change how you approach and handle each situation.
  • Unprecedented Freedom: ​Death, sex, taxes, and disco – nothing is off the table in this open world. Solve a massive murder investigation, or relax and kick back with sprawling side-cases. Disco Elysium’s revolutionary dialogue system lets you do almost anything.
  • Free Upgrade For All: The Final Cut will be available at no extra cost to all current owners of Disco Elysium. Original players expand their experience for free while new players can enjoy the new content from their first playthrough.
