Six years after Disco Elysium came out, we have a look at a new CRPG coming from ZA/UM: Zero Parades.

During Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, we got a look at a trailer that blended cinematic and gameplay. Host Geoff Keighley describes Zero Parades as "a dive into the shadowy world of espionage, where the truth can be stranger than fiction, and every failure isn't the end, but the start of a new path."
