Messy drama behind Disco Elysium's multiple spiritual successors detailed in new report

Disco Elysium studio ZA/UM, in the midst of all this, is said to have filed a legal notice against Tuulik, alleging breach of contract, breach of confidentiality, and copyright infringement – all related to a USB stick containing a playable, 20-minute build of Disco Elysium follow-up X7 that Tuulik is said to have shown Longdue and Dark Math employees.

Those ventures include new projects at Dark Math Games and Longdue, two UK-based studios comprised of former Disco Elysium developers, who both announced Disco Elysium spiritual successors back in October.

The race is on, then, to see which Disco Elysium spiritual successor gets out the door first.
