Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is now available! (March 30th 2021)

Everyone who purchases gets access to all the new content, including:

Full voice acting (English)
New political vision quests
New characters
New clothes
New area
New cutscenes
New animations
New music
New achievements
Controller support
Improved playability

If you already own Disco Elysium then you get The Final Cut at no additional cost. Your old saves should work with this free upgrade but we’d recommend starting a brand new game.

We'd like to add that the new political vision quests are designed to be asymmetric. This means that they're different lengths, with some being more visual, while others are packed with more words. But they all change the world in some way…

Other things to look out for are upgraded skill portraits, improved Tutorial Agent, rebalanced healing items, new outfit bonuses, a complete overhaul of the world map in your journal, fast travel, Twitch integration, and much more.

Thanks for all your support so far. We hope you absolutely love the improvements and what we've added to the game. This is the best version of Disco Elysium and everything it was always meant to be. You all shine bright in our eyes!

Update 5bad0c96 (24 January 2020)

Welcome to Hardcore True Detective mode. The city at the end of the world just got more existential.

So, what's different about Hardcore Mode?

YOU'RE GONNA FAIL MORE You'll fail more. That's a fact of life in Hardcore Mode. The difficulty of every Check goes up, bringing your chances of success down. Solving this case without being a Total Disaster Cop is even harder than normal. On the bright side, you'll have more to be proud of if you do solve the case, even if your dignity got left behind with the Union of Moribund Alcoholics. And the Cuno. And Klaasje. And -- well, just take your victories where you can.
YOU'RE GONNA BE POORER The pornographically poor people Martinaise have even less money to drop, meaning there's less for you to pick up. Lining your pockets with that delicious lucre is going to be nigh on impossible. Better get used to picking up every scrap of tare you can find. At least Roy still gives okay deals in his pawnshop, as you sell off your material wealth for a pittance. You've always had to hustle to survive. Now you've got to hustle more.
YOU'RE GONNA GET SCREWED BY BIG-PHARMA What's more, pharmacutical prices have gone up. That's right! Failing costs you even more. Not only are your favorite over-the-counter drugs are more expensive -- they don't even heal you as much. Even if you find a forgotten stash in the streets, it won't be as good. That's how they get you though, isn't it? They charge you more for less, and make a killing as you die.
YOU'RE GONNA LEARN TO LOVE DRUGS If you weren't a fan of booze and cigarettes before, let alone the hard stuff -- well, good luck to you. Life's a lot more bearable with those pick-me-ups. When all other help abandons you, and your sweet drugs are all that's left, it'll be harder to resist the call. Sweet ciggys to clear your head, an extra drink to build up your courage. Hardcore Mode makes it clearer how Martinaise fell into disrepute. No wonder there's a drug problem when folks have nothing else to turn to.
YOU'RE GONNA TREASURE YOUR CLOTHES The few posessions you do have become more important. That FRITTTE Plastic Rain Coat never protected you so good. Your Amphibian Sports Visor always helped you find stuff, but that stuff never mattered so much. Those Flare-Cut, though, and those Green Snakeskin Shoes -- you might want to lose them before you try to make any jumps.
YOU'RE GONNA THINK MORE CAREFULLY You've got to be cafeful with what goes in your head, too. You've got to plan carefully what you start thinking and when. The Thought Cabinet debuffs are more painful when you're already more liable to fail. Can you really afford to indulge your Superstar fantasies for a few hours when it's already harder to think straight? On the flip side, the bonuses thoughts offer might push you down paths you wouldn't take otherwise. Maybe it's not sexy to be a Boring Cop, but that extra stability might really help you out.
YOU'RE GONNA WISE UP FASTER There is one saving grace you have in Hardcore Mode. The self-help books, at last, are right: Failure builds character. In this worse world, you'll gain token amounts of extra XP every time you finish a Task. You'll lever faster and higher, if only marginally. You'll be able to become a more well-rounded cop, better than you ever were before. So that's something, at least!
LOOKING BACK Again, Hardcore Mode isn't for everyone. But if you've loved this strange story in this forgotten city, it's a way to experience it from a new perspective -- a Martinaise perspective. For those of us here at ZA/UM, who've already spent hundreds of hours playing, this new mode been a wonderful chance to revisit the game in a fresh way.

Good luck, detective.
