ZA/UM studio - the author of Disco Elysium, a non-standard role-playing game that changed the genre and tops the list of the best PC games of all time - announced their new project.

Here's What We Know

Estonian developers presented a short teaser of Project [C4], which leaves more questions than answers. The novelty is characterised as a "genre-defining" (RPG) with an exciting spy story.

The teaser features a certain entity with a female voice, whose mind is being devoured by "a hundred intelligence agents".

The visual style of Project [C4] is reminiscent of Disco Elysium and it looks like ZA/UM has no plans to stray far from the concept of their famous game.

At this point, there is a lot of room for interpretation and speculation about the game, but we should wait for more details from ZA/UM. The studio encourages to subscribe to its social networks, probably there will gradually appear answers to gamers' questions.

The release date and the list of platforms on which Project [C4] will be released are still unknown.
