Disco Elysium Studio ZA/UM Lays Off Up to 32 After Weak Launch of Zero Parades

ZA/UM has served redundancy or at-risk notices to up to 32 employees across all departments, citing weak commercial performance of its espionage RPG Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, which launched in May. The game peaked at 3,177 concurrent Steam players. ZA/UM is consulting with the ZA/UM Workers' Alliance union during the process. The studio has not disclosed its post-layoff plans.
