[h3]Sci-Fi RPG Settings & Environments Panel featuring Disco Elysium Writer, Justin Keenan - Saturday 23rd October 5pm BST [/h3]



When we think of an RPG we often think of a fantasy setting with dragons, elves, magic swords and trolls. However there is a huge amount of titles that opt to be set not in fantasy but in sci-fi settings; with technology, dystopias, space, spaces that feel contemporary, inhospitable planets or a setting that re recognise some and yet other aspects of fantastical. This panel explores the attraction of the sci-fi (or non-fantasy) setting for RPGs and how it approaches world-building.

Disco Elysium fans rejoice as the RPG gets bigger font sizes and UI elements

Text size is still a common theme among player concerns about many of the biggest and best PC games around, with subtitles and other in-game text often appearing on the smaller side in newer releases. The good news, though, is that one of the best RPGs of our time has just got easier to read with the addition of some font-enlarging gameplay updates.


Disco Elysium's Version e6fdd6fa patch - catchy, I know - is only billed as a small update by developer ZA/UM, but the positive changes it makes could be pretty significant for a lot of players who struggle to make out in-game text. The patch notes list just a handful of tweaks, but two important ones - the first of which is announced in grand capitals - is "BIGGER FONT SIZES". Additionally, other adjustments fold in "bigger and cleaner" UI elements and "lots of visual fixes for smoother, more coherent visual experience".


While Disco Elysium is now fully voiced through its Final Cut edition, its gameplay and story still hinge on a significant amount of text, so this is a really key and positive change for those who'd love to see it offer options for bigger fonts.

Two Year Anniversary!



By the golden light of her lungs! We can hardly believe that it’s the 2nd anniversary of Disco Elysium, now known as Disco Elysium - The Final Cut. So much has happened since our first anniversary…

We announced and released The Final Cut, which features full voiceover, streamer mode, and Twitch integration. We added four more languages and opened an official Displate shop. We designed and created a ton of new merchandise on the webstore, and launched ZA/UM Atelier, where you can get high-quality artwork and handmade clothing inspired by the game. Did you know we also opened a new ZA/UM website and hosted a pop-up shop in London? We sure did!

And now Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is available on all major platforms. We really have been riding the lightning over the past two years!

To celebrate it all, you can buy Disco Elysium - The Final Cut at -45% off for the week of October 11th - October 18th. Be sure to tell your friends who are yet to play the game (or gift it to them if you're feeling extra generous) so they can enjoy the experience too.

We recently opened a pop-up shop in London for fans to drop by and purchase merchandise, check out our high quality prints - "Horsey Horse" and "Thought Cabinet" and try on Kim’s Aerostatic bomber jacket and the Lilik-Hiriadi Death Cloak.

Some visitors were also able to meet a couple of our writers and artists, and had the opportunity to get their hands on signed posters. A huge thanks to the hundreds of fans that came by and showed their support, we truly appreciate it.
