Anyone else not want a DE sequel? Everything being a franchise is something we always complain about with movies, don’t see how that doesn’t apply here. They nailed it, it’s good. Make similar stuff but some stuff should be a one off
I’m not against the world being explored in different mediums at all. There was books first anyway, a tabletop seems pretty fitting.
Absolutely not, it’s very explicitly designed to be a prototype for a larger game and a lot of the plot is entirely set up for that game.
It can’t even be a one-off, there was already a novel in the setting before the game was made.
I’ve clarified elsewhere but I mean as a video game and I’m happy to see the setting used but I don’t wanna see Harry in anything else, much like the reast of the cast. And how is it explicitly a prototype for a different game?
The original pitch for Disco Elysium, for Harry, for Martinaise, its people and the humiliated city-state of Revachol, was as a ‘‘match-book world’’, a short(lol) detective game, meant to be a small window at more to come, they had built Disco Elysium as an introduction to its massive universe, for future games and works to come.
It’s abundantly clear that that’s not happening anymore, but Elysium was always meant to become a franchise of some sort.
edit: i can’t seem to find it right now but if i recall correctly, Kurvitz already had an idea for a DE sequel, it was going to be about a pregnant woman, but i don’t remember the details.
I wouldn’t want a direct sequel with Harry and Kim. Not even a prequel. I kind of thought the fetus and pregnant mom version of DE was intriguing though
