The Great Internationale Announcement and Working Class Update

A BIG SALE, more languages, better performance, patch notes
¿Estás listo? Prenez un verre mes amis. Начинаем… We're going international! (Are you ready?) (Grab a glass my friends.) (We're starting…)

Disco Elysium is being translated and localized into new languages, hot and fresh off the tongue. Even better is that it's being done by you - our wonderful community.

We're working with hand-picked teams of dedicated fans to ensure they have everything they need to get you the game and its million words in your language. It's properly happening. In full and with flair. Nothing can stop The Great Internationale.

The languages currently in progress are:

• Spanish
• Korean
• Russian
• Portuguese-Brazilian

And that's not all… We've teamed up with Testronic Labs, a translating powerhouse with internationale prestige, to add two more languages to that list:

• French
• German

You want more? So do we. That's why we've opened up a new website that lets you vote on which languages we should translate the game into next. The community decides! You can also track the progress of the translations that are already in the works on that site.

We can't thank you all enough for the love and support you've shown so far. Nothing keeps us going more than your kind words and seeing your incredible fan art and fiction. We hope to keep up such beautiful exchanges long, long into the future.

Starting with our…

Working Class Update!

We've been working hard on optimizing Disco Elysium so that it runs on as many hardworking machines as possible. No matter how old or low-tech they may be!

If you found that your computer struggled to run Disco Elysium before then this update will hopefully remedy that. Many more people can play for the first time, or have a much better and smoother experience than before. This one's for all our bratan keeping it real by booting up games on their ancient potato machines.

With this latest update, Disco Elysium's minimum specs have been dropped down to Mariana Trench levels. That goes for both the Windows PC and Mac versions.

New PC minimum:

Windows 7 and DirectX 11 compatible video card (integrated or dedicated with min 512MB memory). 2GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo, 20GB hard disk space.

New Mac minimum:

• MacBook Pro: from mid 2009
• MacBook Air: from mid 2012
• iMac: from late 2009
• Mac Pro: from late 2008
• Mac mini: from 2009

* An OpenGL capable system
* The higher fan speeds are normal effect, fans run faster when 20% or more of CPU capacity is used.
* These are the oldest tested machines, we cannot guarantee all different specs run but we tried to push specs as low as possible without sacrificing gaming experience.

We're determined to take it further too. We're going to try to keep optimizing so low that we break through the crust on the other side of the planet. Show us your scrapheap calculators and rusty adding machines and we'll give it a go. Disco Elysium for all!

Another update, this one with significant new content!

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, a "director's cut" of the original game, will introduce four "political vision quests" -- one for each of the the game's ideological alignments (communism, fascism, moralism, and ultraliberal).

Narrative designer Justin Keenan told Rock Paper Shotgun:

these quests are meant to give players the chance to bring some of the story's ideological themes to a satisfying conclusion and explore what's really going on behind the political posturing that the protagonist sometimes likes to engage in.

each of these quests is unique -- they're as different from one another as they are from any of the other quests in Disco Elysium. Some introduce you to new characters, some come with new items, others permanently change your UI [what? what does this mean? - ed.] or some other piece of the world.

For those who already own Disco Elysium on PC, the Final Cut will be a free update -- but it also marks the game's first release on Playstation (in March) and XBox and Switch (this summer).

I've been waiting for a reason to start a full replay of the game, and here I have one!
