Ex-ZA/UM developers reveal Red Rooster, an "incendiary RPG" that is very intentionally not trying to be a "Disco Elysium successor" or "Disco-like" "You need to turn away from the ruin." Back in 2024, we heard about the formation of Summer Eternal: a new studio composed of Disco Elysium writer and world-builder, Argo Tuulik, and other veteran ZA/UM staff such as Dora Klindžić, Anastasia Ivanova, and Michael Oswell. Aleksandar Gavrilović, secretary of the Croatian Game Development Alliance, and Lenval Brown, Disco Elysium's narrator, are also part of the crew. Since then, we've heard nothing from the new collective, but earlier this month, the studio got in contact with me to gauge interest in the Summer Eternal Anthology, a 500-page physical book that's part-treatise on the cultural and labour impact of the video game industry, and part-development journal for its newly-announced "incendiary RPG", Red Rooster. Summer Eternal references games like Exanima, Half-Life: Alyx, Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, Planescape: Torment, and Larian's Divinity engine games as inspiration.
