In 2021, less than two years after its release, Disco Elysium received a Final Cut update. As well as adding four quests, two songs, and some additional art and animations, it made the whole game fully voiced—bringing in an audience put off by the amount of reading Disco Elysium originally demanded. Sovereign Syndicate, a steampunk…
