The battle to steal the Disco Elysium successor's spotlight continues, as the original RPG's studio ZA/UM and a new indie studio featuring former developers from ZA/UM, Rockstar, and more have revealed details about their new games at the exact same time.

This RPG was later revealed to be called Hopetown, but on the very same day as that initial announcement was made, another new studio (called Dark Math Games), also composed of different former ZA/UM devs, revealed its own spiritual successor called XXX Nightshift. The timing was truly bizarre, but hey, it was a pretty great day for any fans of the award-winning 2019 RPG.
