ZA/UM announced that a new update is now available for its multi-award winning role-playing game, Disco Elysium. This latest update adds an extreme Hardcore Mode, as well as ultrawide monitor support. In order to celebrate this announcement, the studio has also released a new trailer that you can find below.

Disco Elysium is a groundbreaking open world role playing game in which you play as a detective. Players have a unique skill system at their disposal and a whole city block to carve their path across. Players will also interrogate unforgettable characters, crack murders or take bribes. Furthermore, players can become a hero or an absolute disaster of a human being in this RPG.

Here are the key features of the new Hardcore Mode:

  • You will fail more – The difficulty of every Check goes up, bringing down your chances of success. Solving this case without being a Total Disaster Cop is even harder than normal.
  • You’re going to be poorer – You’ll have even less money, meaning there’s less for you to pick up. Better get used to picking up every scrap you can find…
  • Prices have gone up – Pharmaceutical prices have gone up, which means failing costs you even more and they don’t heal you as much.
  • You’ll need to turn to the hard stuff – Booze and cigarettes are going to help you a lot, sweet ciggys clearing your head and extra drink to build courage will become more of a necessity on this playthrough.
  • Most treasured possessions – The few possessions you do have become more important, make sure to treasure what you have!
  • You’ll have to think more carefully – The Thought Cabinet debuffs are more painful when you’re already liable to fail. One the flip side, the bonuses thoughts offer might push you down paths you wouldn’t otherwise take.
  • You’ll level up faster – Failing builds character. You’ll gain extra token amounts of XP every time you finish a task and you’ll level faster and higher, if only marginally.

Enjoy!
