Former Disco Elysium writers & developers form Summer Eternal, teasing new RPG

As a seasoned gamer with a deep appreciation for intricate narratives and immersive worlds, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation upon hearing about Summer Eternal. Having been deeply moved by the rich tapestry of characters and stories woven in Disco Elysium, the prospect of a spiritual successor, crafted by some of the very same minds that breathed life into those digital denizens, is nothing short of exhilarating.


A group consisting of significant contributors from the creation and scripting of Disco Elysium, named Summer Eternal, have declared themselves an “artist collective”. Notably, this is the first such group to emerge since legal issues disbanded the original studio ZA/UM. What sets them apart is that they include writers and artists who worked on the initial project. Furthermore, their ambition is to initiate a crowdfunded RPG, which will serve as a spiritual sequel to Disco Elysium in essence.

This week, Summer Eternal unveiled its freshly launched website, outlining its forthcoming projects. The collective includes several creators from the original Disco Elysium.

  • Argo Tuulik, writer on Disco Elysium as well as its canceled sequel and expansion
  • Olga Moskvina, writer on Disco Elysium
  • Lenval Brown, narrator on The Final Cut
  • Dora Klindžić, writer on Disco’s canceled expansion
  • Anastasia Ivanova, former ZA/UM concept artist
  • Michael Oswell, former ZA/UM graphic designer

I’m here to make good on the promise we made. This time we will stay by your side.

The mission declaration of Summer Eternal explicitly highlights the inefficient management and oversights within the corporate and executive sectors, which led Studio ZA/UM into numerous legal disputes. In essence, Summer Eternal was established with the intention of launching a fresh, top-tier creative endeavor following these challenges.

As a fervent enthusiast, I can’t help but feel my heart race at the mere mention of the upcoming crowd-funding campaign for Summer Eternal’s project. It promises to be an exhilarating venture!
