ZAUM Unveils C4: A Spy RPG Unlike Disco Elysium 2

ZA/UM has announced a new game, Project C4, described as a spy RPG but not a sequel to Disco Elysium. The game's narrative emphasizes player-driven introspection, character development, and decision-making, featuring a complex world where players navigate espionage and personal struggles. Project C4’s creators want to push boundaries and explore new gameplay mechanics, moving away from traditional spy tropes associated with characters like James Bond. This fresh approach aims to challenge players with moral dilemmas rather than glorifying heroism.

Players can expect a darker and more introspective narrative in Project C4, focusing on the psychological aspects of espionage and personal failure. Unlike Disco Elysium, it will not revolve around a clear heroic narrative, aiming instead to deepen the player's understanding of character motivation and moral ambiguity in a spy-themed context.

Disco Elysium was a groundbreaking RPG known for its rich storytelling and deep character development. Released in 2019, it received critical acclaim for its innovative gameplay and narrative style. With the announcement of Project C4, ZA/UM aims to explore different themes while maintaining high-quality storytelling, though key original developers have parted ways with the studio, leaving fans curious about the new team's direction.
