The key developers of Disco Elysium left the studio, and the cultural association ZA/UM was dissolved. However, everything is fine with the sequel of the game

Martin Luiga, one of the authors of Disco Elysium, said that the key developers of the project left the studio, and the cultural association ZA/UM, not to be confused with the studio, was dissolved.

Here's What We Know

The message appeared on medium.com. In it, Martin wrote that the cultural association ZA/UM was dissolved. The reason is that it no longer corresponds to the ideals on which it was founded. People and ideas should be eternal, but organizations can be temporary. Luiga believes that the organization as a whole was successful, and most of the mistakes that were made were accidental, caused by the socio-cultural conditions in which the team was thrown.

It also became known that game designer and screenwriter Robert Kurvitz, screenwriter Helen Hindpere and art director Alexander Rostov left the studio a year ago.

Later in his tweet, Martin reassured everyone who was worried about the fate of Disco Elysium sequel:

"Nah I think that things with the sequel are actually sweet enough, you might even get it the way it was meant, it might take a shit ton of time but RPG fans are sorta accustomed to waiting, ain't they?".
