As we speak, Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM has supplied simply the tiniest tease of its subsequent venture: a sport targeted on the themes of spy and espionage presently being known as “Mission C4”.
As a part of the reveal, we bought a have a look at a short teaser trailer, and had been briefed on a couple of of the massive concepts we will count on in C4…in addition to what we must always NOT count on. For one, we had been informed C4 is just not Disco Elysium 2, however as a substitute takes place in a totally unique new world. We additionally had been informed that it is explicitly not a 007-style spy story. As an alternative, it is impressed by the novels of John le Carré, particularly the Smiley vs. Karla trilogy (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Honourable Schoolboy, and Smiley’s Folks). It additionally consists of parts of psychadelic sci-fi, borrowing from authors like Usula LeGuin and Philip Ok. Dick, and motion sequences impressed by Park Chan-wook.
