Disco Elysium - The Final Cut news & patch notes

ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is now available to play on PC.

In ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, play as Hershel Wilk, a brilliant but burnt out operant (cryptonym: CASCADE), who’s recalled to the city of Portofiro five years after the greatest failure of her life - the disintegration of her old network. 

Now back in-theatre, Hershel must pull together the ‘Whole Sick Crew’ for one last show. Her final, desperate mission. 

The game is out now with English voiceover, and full text localisation in English, German, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish (Latin America). 

Eight additional languages are planned and will be added through free updates beginning later this year: French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Traditional Chinese, and Turkish (listed alphabetically, not in order of release).

To celebrate the launch of ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies on PC, a new line of official merchandise is available here, including pins of the game’s Skill Badges and tees. This is in addition to the ZERO PARADES Atelier collection, which is now available to order here.

Our upcoming espionage RPG, ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, launches across PC tomorrow!

To prepare you for your time in Portofiro, the full video from our ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies Showcase is now available to watch on YouTube:

The Showcase revealed a gameplay deep-dive with developers, the music video of Ultra Violeta’s “Cover the Moon”, and announcements of a ZERO PARADES-inspired fashion collection from ZA/UM Atelier and a Pen & Paper one-shot adventure by our voice actors.

Our upcoming espionage RPG, ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, arrives May 21st on Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG for $39.99. A PlayStation®5 (PS5®) will come later this year.

The game releases with full English voice-over and text localisation in four languages:

With eight more to be released later in the year as free updates.

In ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, assume the role of Hershel Wilk, a brilliant but tormented operant on one final, desperate assignment in the city-state of Portofiro. Gather your broken network, untangle a web of lies, and prove yourself on the world stage - or blow it all up again.
