Longdue is working on a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium.

Disco Elysium spiritual successor is in development at Longdue

A dev team called Longdue announced that they are developing a “spiritual successor” to Disco Elysium, a popular modern RPG launched in 2019.

The actual Disco Elysium sequel has been canceled, and that’s why Longdue believes it can call its own game a “spiritual successor.” It’s a new psychological RPG, set in a game world conceived by the leads of the now canceled Disco Elysium sequel.
