According to a new report from Video Games on Sports Illustrated (VGSI), Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM is laying off a quarter of its staff.
Twenty-four employees are said to be affected overall, and follow the recent cancellation of a project codenamed X7. Cuts will mainly affect that team, along with separate teams and projects.
VGSI claims X7 was an expansion for Disco Elysium, which was said to be "one to two years away from completion." It also alleges this was the third "big" project to be iced or fully killed at ZA/UM.

does anyone else feel like maybe at this point the company that made Disco Elysium probably should not be making Disco Elysium 2
