Reminder that the core creatives behind Disco Elysium were forced out by the current owner of the studio after, according to them, he seized control through outright fraud and embezzlement.

So whatever was supposedly coming out of this studio, it probably wasn't going to be a worthy successor to that masterpiece.

Also pirate the game if you want to play it. The devs have encouraged it after how the company treated them.

Can you imagine committing fraud to take over a golden-goose studio, then just strangling the thing on a whim?
