From what I can tell, the first two projects aim to replicate the final product/style of Disco Elysium, whereas the third, Summer Eternal, aims to reproduce the spirit *behind* Disco. Which I feel will produce more fruitful results, even if they make something that looks nothing like the original.
A good way of putting it. Definitely going to keep my eye on what each has to offer but I’m absolutely more interested in what summer eternal will bring to the table.
My first reaction to Summer Eternal was that I just hope they have all the money they need to fuel the project. As we all know, and learnt even through the game, some of these artistic endeavors don't turn into anything because money just runs out. That is the careful dance that needs to happen between art and capitalism. If these guys are not going to entertain any sort of profit margin agenda, they will really need to find patronage from somebody that supports the project unconditionally and that has plenty of money to spare... Because as much as I would love for art to thrive without the need of investors, at the end of the day the people making the game have to eat. And the money to buy food and pay rent has to come from somewhere. But we all know this... But if Argo and other known faces are behind the project, I am sure the community would gladly support them, if anything at least to spite Ilmar Kompus and what remains of what was once ZAUM.
This is a highly underrated comment. Can't wait to see what studio #3 comes up with. Social revolution through video games? It's not that Farfetch'd of a concept
Disco Elysium splitting into three separate worker co-ops all claiming to be the successor of the original is as much of a commentary on communism as the game could ever hope to be.
The angle I'm taking it from is more along the lines of that shitpost format with multiple cakes and I can't say I can complain about more Discoesque content but you''re not wrong.
And people will say it not the true successor while building their own "true" successor only for people to say it not the true successor while building their own "true" successor ad infinitum
To me, I don't think any of these studios will be capable of making a true successor. Merely shadows of what was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle. But the Promise of something beautiful is enough. Because that is hope.
I don’t want to be dismissive right away but xxx nightshift seems to be more interested in wearing the aesthetics of disco elysium like a costume then embracing its own spirit. The writing we got sounds like it’s trying to hard to replicate Robert, Helen and the others but it just doesn’t feel right, like it’s being forced in a way. Still going to keep an eye on what each studio make, this is going to be very interesting…
It unironically sounds like what a person who stereotypes DE as “pretentious” would think DE sounds like Major blooberteam vibes if anyone gets my drift
Torment Numenera eagerly trying to be a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment. It had the otherworldly weirdness, but not the quirky charm or the alien but relatable and humane characters. What little I saw of xxx Nightshift feels like a 'Torment Numenera' to Disco Elysium.
Its honestly amazing the fact that we are getting 3 spiritual successors. Summer Eternal has the most promise since their manifesto actually read like the DE narrator in a lot of places, and they are actively trying to prevent another takeover by being the change they want to be, not to mention 2 of the 5 zaum Founders are working with the team and a lot of the original artists/writers seem to be with them. The other 3 Founders are also in another one of the studios. This might actually be the "miracle timeline" and i hope the games mention the entire rights situation and the other breakaway games in some form, showing solidarity would be great between the dev teams. I cant wait for the day where we get to see some footage of the upcoming games, they day they return to us is getting closer and closer, something beautiful is going to happen
Many declared disco to be "totally dead". But now, there are live, vicious, ferocious, and sometimes communist disco-successors vying for the legacy of the crucified interactive video-novel. In this story, Ilmar Kompus is our Judas Iscariot, and the corpse of our most holy psychointrospective art project has vanished from it's grave - not because it decided to walk among us again, but because disco-necromancers each tore a limb from it, hoping to conjure something which will match - or perhaps surpass - Elysium. In this way, Disco Elysium was cast in amber. It died as it was born, in the same pristine, meaningful, and inspiring state that we first witnessed it, preserved for us to admire and aspire for. The corporate shit-peddlers who wrestled it away from creatives were so alien to the concept of art that they had no real angle to exploit and butcher it's legacy. As such, ZA/UM will remain a one-game studio, while the icon of Elysium will be forever immortalized in culture. Something beautiful is about to happen.
Something to always keep in mind is to keep expectations on the low side. Not saying these game will be bad, but we should not expect Disco Elysium 2+, they will be their own thing and we should value them as such, individual products INSPIRED by Disco Elysium. Let not let our love for one product blind us from apreciating others
@@GlobnarTheGreen why? lets be happy that people are inspired by this! it means someday we willl have more games with the narrative style and aesthetics of DE
Nervous, but excited for what this means for the future of Disco Elysium. I am the most curious about Summer Eternal, as their website seems the most promising. My dream would be for the original creators to be able to buy back the rights to elysium from ZAUM, but who knows if that will ever happen. I hope one day the stars will align and we can get that true sequel to disco elysium, or some other kind of continuation of its world
I have 0 clue wtf summer eternal could be, but out of the three, this is the one that has Disco Elysium written all over it... even if it's something way too different like a fps game or something dumb like that, I'm sure they are gonna deliver the feels
I would be thrilled to have a sequel or a prequel in the same universe, but since it's nearly impossible because of the capitalistic bitches at za/um, I'm fine with a "spiritual succesor" if the writing, the story, lore, characters, music and overall vibe are as good as DE
As Jamrock Hobo once said, we don’t necessarily need another game like Disco Elysium, we need one that’s as GOOD as Disco Elysium. Maybe we’ll get that now :)
Since all of the 5 founders are in the breakaway companies, as long as they have the time, it will be as good if not better than DE(now that they have even more things to comment on, since the fiction of the game followed so close to reality.) I Just hope the settings are that similar
@@qaztim11 yeah that's my problem with all of this. I want elysium back, with pale and isolas, with all the massive lore Usually such projects are once in a lifetime events, you won't want to create another world when you've already created your perfection I just hope the creators still have at least 10% of their creative juices left
@@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimpwhile I understand that the creators themselves want to work with this universe more? I genuinely hate this consumer tendency of “I want more of X!!!” Because 80% of the time it’s just forcing a clearly stand alone work of art to expand into something it’s not and disrespecting its integrity Why not ask for something LIKE DE? You know? New, inventive, experimental?
@@doctordice2doctordice210 Usually I would agree with you, but here it's not really about "I want more LITERALLY Disco Elysium". It's more about "This world is so nice and coherent because it was created in 10 years via writing, ttrpg campaigns and literally a book, and now it's abandoned? How can an upstart match that quality with just a year or two?" And, of course, DE isn't a standalone, given the aforementioned book exists, that too.
I sort of want to be pissed that ZA/UM got shut down still, but at the same time, the way things are going is the MOST Disco Elysium like way for things to have ever happened
A co-op anti capitalist video game company? There may be 3 - 5 spiritual successors to DE, but only 1 spiritual successor to what ZA-UM was originally founded on.
What a year, so much Disco in the air. At least few years from now. It will probably take 3+ years before any of those games come out, my guess would be 5, unless the one that had a trailer already os further along in development
As someone who lived through the closure of City of Heroes, and witnessed all the spiritual successors that were spawned out of that, I'll say this much: Things were hopeful at first, but it didn't take long to expose all of the flaws and problems that existed with the various attempts to preserve the game. Hope was completely gone after a few years, until 2019, when a leak came out that some problematic folks had managed to keep things running in secret. And, to their credit, they did decide to release things publicly rather than trying to keep things hidden or crawling back under a rock (mostly. They kept some harmful secrets under wraps for a few more years, and there may still be some more lurking). And now, in 2024, we've got City back and stronger than ever before. I can't say things will necessarily go the same for Disco Elysium, but it won't be the first time a miraculously anti-capitalist venture saves a beloved game. There's just way more people who love Disco than who loved City, so I feel confident that hope for Elysium won't die.
The second game "xxx nightshift" just feels wrong. The writing in the beginning seems shallow and the same old generic metaphors that one heard a thousand times are used which makes me very skeptical concidering the quality of the writing. I hope i am wrong.
I think the game is destined to be good, because the team behind it still has a lot of valued members from za/um and we still have so little info on the game so its a bit early to say that the writing is shallow.
I thought this was going to be the people stealing the IP making new games, and it's the original creators making spiritual successors? So (cautiously) hyped!
The absolute best outcome we could've gotten after the ZA/UM fiasco. Hope Owlcat reaches out and helps at least one of them out, they're the only publishers I would trust with the task.
They might have a chance to buy back their rights... if these companies succeed, they could eventually save enough to combine again and purchase the rights back to reclaim ZA/UM...
Oh thank you so much for explaining this all so articulately! As a newer fan, I was reading some of the articles coming out about this but kept getting confused on who was who, and which team were made up of what. It’s all a bit of a mess and easily misunderstood if not well versed in the lore, which I suppose is fitting for a game like Disco Elysium. Like you, I’m keeping an eye on all of these games, and look forward to playing them all upon their eventual release, but the latter two gaming companies seem to probably be the most exciting in terms of who they are made up of, and the kind of thing they might make.
Are we talking the borderline clone? “Heavily inspired” territory Or are you doing something actually unique like DE did, finding a uniquely video game way of weaving characterization, story, character with gameplay?
@@doctordice2doctordice210 I'm doing some mysterious fourth thing. Just kidding. I'd say the last two. So I guess that's not bad? I'm exercising this strategy called "Shutting The Hell Up About It And Only Talking About It To My Close Friends" strategy, though. I'll tell you that it's a cartoonish sci-fi horror-comedy-drama-action crpg/visual novel about funny robots where four nebulous narrators invade the player character's brain chip. Okay bye!
You know what... No. I would like Disco Elysium to inspire new game devs, and create a new game from their own creative brush. I would like to have more Elysium-likes. I don't think they will ever reach what DE did, but I don't need them to, I just want a new breath of fresh air
@@usbgamers123 same, I want people to see how DE integrated game play mechanics with storytelling and characterization and find their own way of doing so. Funny enough, the game that shares the same spirit and design philosophy the most is papers please, a game that was released like.. a decade before DE lol
I would be fucking ecstatic if more games in the vein of disco Elysium were made. i would encourage it. Maybe this is the seed of that, maybe one day there will be fields of Elysium
I'll probably play all of the games that come from these studios tbh, im just like that. The first one obviously has little going on to show other than its relation to the DE (kender bro is a little curious) nightshifts trailer made me groan it feels like an aesthetic emulation even if its by some of the original staff im not really sensingthe juice there unfortunately. Summer eternal definitely is the real deal, thats DE to its core. Whole shabang, no doubt about it. has the juice fir sure my brother. Also Cant wait to see whatever kurvitz, hindpere and rostov come out with as well
DISCO forever baby! Caution should be taken however, none of them will probably be as good as the Original (maybe.... time will tell). But Disco Elysium was Unique, so it all comes down to WRITING and STORY TELLING, the Art was nice too. Yup, that Trailer gives on serious Disco vibes.
We might have gotten a better _game_ from the full united team with the original IP, but with the three separate teams, we have a _precedent._ We have a _genre._ This could be the beginning of an entire generation of Desqueo.
I am extremely happy about this, but I will still treat such news with caution. After all, too little time has passed Although to hell with it. HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!!!
Think the third game is going to be the true successor of disco elysium, the others seem like an attempt to copy the aesthetic of elysium, whereas the third one seems to be speaking from the heart and being true to itself
I got shivers from the trailer. The voice. The music. Good god. It’s not a direct sequel but the vibes are crazy. + the detail “someone was looking for you all weekend, tried to contact you” reminds me of the fact Kim in DE was looking to meet Harry for all weekend before their actual meeting. I just love this detail. I really hope these games will be as good as DE.
I'm so fucking excited for a person that has repeatedly stopped after a few hours of play, never actually finishing the damn thing. Two birds with one stone is luck, but to hope that three stones will hit at least one bird is reasonable.
Robert will get something done sooner or later. That is if he's still interested in making a game. I'm not sure about all those other companies. They haven't proven they can do it yet.
to me nightshift and summer eternal seem the most disco to me, except i feel nightshift will be its own great experience and summer eternal will be the true disco elysium spirital successor, the longdue one doesnt seem Bad but out of the 3, i feel its not gonna match DE, but i dont doubt itll be good nonetheless
I am buying all four (including the Rostov and Kurvitz studio that predates all of these) companies' games and I will wallow in them like a pig in filth.
From what I can tell, the first two projects aim to replicate the final product/style of Disco Elysium, whereas the third, Summer Eternal, aims to reproduce the spirit *behind* Disco. Which I feel will produce more fruitful results, even if they make something that looks nothing like the original.
Absolutely this!
A good way of putting it. Definitely going to keep my eye on what each has to offer but I’m absolutely more interested in what summer eternal will bring to the table.
The summer eternal website was so cool
just from reading their manifesto, it absolutely exudes the vibe of disco elysium, and it has lenval brown working on music and voice acting so
My first reaction to Summer Eternal was that I just hope they have all the money they need to fuel the project. As we all know, and learnt even through the game, some of these artistic endeavors don't turn into anything because money just runs out.

Summer eternal definitely is the real deal, thats DE to its core. Whole shabang, no doubt about it. has the juice fir sure my brother. Also Cant wait to see whatever kurvitz, hindpere and rostov come out with as well
Let's disco babyyyyy!!!!!!! 🪩
Your video description has a spelling mistake.
Thanks for the news! Very excited.
The Discolike genre seems promising
i want to be hopeful
DISCO forever baby! Caution should be taken however, none of them will probably be as good as the Original (maybe.... time will tell). But Disco Elysium was Unique, so it all comes down to WRITING and STORY TELLING, the Art was nice too.
Yup, that Trailer gives on serious Disco vibes.
YEAAAAAHHHHHHH
HARDCORE
@@schmon8409 HARDCORE TO THE MEGA
We are so back 🎉
Want to point out Rue Valley, which is also a very Disco-like game to get hyped for.
We might have gotten a better _game_ from the full united team with the original IP, but with the three separate teams, we have a _precedent._ We have a _genre._ This could be the beginning of an entire generation of Desqueo.
Please oh please tell me i’m not dreaming!
we are so fucking back🙏
i feel like the we are aback with the second studio cause
it has a lot of potential
from the ashes, the phoenix will rise
I want to be a member of the board on Summer eternal. Even a little
As glad as i am to see this happening, what happened to the potential sequel will always be such a sore spot...
This is literally the second half of death note in a nutshell:
I am extremely happy about this, but I will still treat such news with caution. After all, too little time has passed
Although to hell with it.
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!!!
I want to believe that all this is just a middle finger to ZA/UM and all the studios are working on a single game
Think the third game is going to be the true successor of disco elysium, the others seem like an attempt to copy the aesthetic of elysium, whereas the third one seems to be speaking from the heart and being true to itself
Same, it actually sounds interesting
there will never be anything like it.
3?? Holy shit they're multiplying
I got shivers from the trailer. The voice. The music. Good god. It’s not a direct sequel but the vibes are crazy. + the detail “someone was looking for you all weekend, tried to contact you” reminds me of the fact Kim in DE was looking to meet Harry for all weekend before their actual meeting. I just love this detail. I really hope these games will be as good as DE.
I'm so fucking excited for a person that has repeatedly stopped after a few hours of play, never actually finishing the damn thing.
Two birds with one stone is luck, but to hope that three stones will hit at least one bird is reasonable.
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
Mhmm, very interesting. I gues Elysium will find us again
im bouta disco all over this elysium
That's disco bro
So the only studio that we know to have at least some of the writing talent is Summer Eternal? Yeah, I can see why it seems to be the most promising.
My happiness is dripping from my pants leg
As Stalin said, "It became better to live, to live became more cheerful!"
Robert will get something done sooner or later. That is if he's still interested in making a game. I'm not sure about all those other companies. They haven't proven they can do it yet.
I might actually cry... Someone pinch me, I'm not actually convinced I'm not dreaming /hj
Un jour je serai de retour près de toi.
One day I will return to your side.
to me nightshift and summer eternal seem the most disco to me, except i feel nightshift will be its own great experience and summer eternal will be the true disco elysium spirital successor,
the longdue one doesnt seem Bad but out of the 3, i feel its not gonna match DE, but i dont doubt itll be good nonetheless
AIGHT WHEN IS PUNK ELYSIUM COMING OUT ????
god I love fan works
I think the true successor to me will just be whichever one gets Sea Power to do the music again 😂
No number of “spiritual successors” can fulfill the need to know more about what happened/happens next back in Revachol.
Agreed but maybe we were in denial about that possibility all along?
It's an insulindian miracle
"Holy shit 3 cakes"
I am buying all four (including the Rostov and Kurvitz studio that predates all of these) companies' games and I will wallow in them like a pig in filth.
Hi! What happened with the deserter maximum stats video?, i can't find it anymore
I need a tequila sunrise right now
