Disco Elysium News

Disco Elysium is now available in French, German and Traditional Chinese!



Hello everyone! We're very happy to be updating Disco Elysium with three new supported languages: French, German, and Traditional Chinese. That means Disco Elysium is now playable in a total of eight languages! This is our final language update of 2020 but we plan on bringing you more in the future. The Great Internationale will continue!

As always, this update would not be possible without the dedication of our translation teams, who we have worked very closely with during this whole process. We'd like to say a huge thank you to them and hope that you will join us in celebrating and supporting their efforts.

Going forward, we will be continuing to improve these new texts, so please do be sure to let us know of any ways we can do this. Remember that you can use the language switch feature by pressing the Q or L button mid-game to change the language, after selecting your chosen languages in the settings menu.



The game is also having its biggest discount ever at -40% during the Steam Winter Sale! Now is a great time to pick up Disco Elysium if you haven't already, or to gift it to a friend who has been waiting to play it – especially if their preferred language is French, German, or Traditional Chinese!

  • Traditional Chinese! French! German!
  • Some minor fixes and enhancements, new fonts, and lots of bugs squashed.
  • But, most importantly, new languages! Maybe there should be an achievement for finishing the game in a language you can't understand...
  • Check new end credits (you have to complete the game, detective!), lots of teams and people added!

Remember to report bugs here.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The 9 worst neighbourhoods in PC games


One Off The List is our monthly list feature. Is there something you think doesn’t deserve to be on this list? Comment with your reasons why, and next month it may be struck off.

Many of you are by now bathing in twinkling neon ravelights and swooning into the metal arms of Cyberpunk 2077‘s humourless unhunks, who stalk the streets of Night City like animatronic pizza restaurant mascots gone feral. That is fine. There are worse places to find oneself in the labyrinthine hell of video games. Places such as these. Here are 9 neighbourhoods you wouldn’t want to bring up your children in.

Disco Elysium is now available in Brazilian Portuguese!



Hello everyone! We're happy to announce that Disco Elysium is now available to play in Brazilian Portuguese. We could not have done this without the hard work of our translation team, who we work very closely with. We'd like to say a great big thank you to them and hope that you will join us in celebrating and supporting their efforts.

Disco Elysium now supports a total five languages, with more yet to come. Remember that you can use the language switch feature by pressing Q or L while playing the game. Which two languages you switch between when using this feature can be chosen in the settings menu.

While the Brazilian Portuguese translation is in excellent shape we will continue to look for ways it could be improved. If you see any ways we can do this then please let us know.

The game also has a -30% discount (starting 10am PST) for a limited time to celebrate this launch. Now is a great time to pick up Disco Elysium if you haven't already, or to gift it to a friend who has been waiting to play it – especially if their preferred language is Brazilian Portuguese!

Disco Elysium is weirdly great as a Game Boy RPG





It's immediately clear that a lot of care has been put into Disco Elysium: Game Boy Edition. It's a demake that transforms our Game of the Year 2019 (and #1 in our Top 100)  into a spunky, lo-fi handheld romp, and it's oddly perfect.  The art evokes Pokémon and any number of '90s Game Boy RPGs, but it also suggests sights and characters of Revachol, breaking these scenes down to their essentials. I recognise these places. Sure, I have to squint a little, but the essence is all there.  Similarly, the dialogue has been condensed, matching the brisk, carefree writing of family-friendly RPGs, but the content remains the same as its grim inspiration. Within a couple of minutes, you're looking at a corpse hanging from a tree and making rolls so you don't have throw up your guts.  You pick an archetype at the start, rather than selecting specific skills, and then beef up those skills through successful rolls. The dice component isn't as hidden away this time, with skill checks taking you to a different screen where you've got to roll a pair of D6s and try to roll higher than the challenge's number. As Baldur's Gate 3 also confirmed, I'm a sucker for RPGs that let me pretend I'm playing a tabletop adventure.  There's almost no audio, and it only recreates the beginning of what is at least a 20-hour RPG, but it's a great homage. I've been looking for another excuse to return to Revachol, and while I would have been even more excited by a Switch port, I can at least play the Game Boy Edition on my phone. I could even play it on my Game Boy, if I was willing to go through the effort of going to my parents' attic, finding one of my old handhelds and then downloading Disco Elysium as a ROM.  Actually, that does sound pretty tempting.
