Hopetown Teaser Unveils Ex-Disco Elysium Collaborator

The highly anticipated psychological RPG called Hopetown is set to launch its Kickstarter campaign on March 17, 2025. Developed by Longdue, the game features elements reminiscent of the acclaimed Disco Elysium, including its original narrator Lenval Brown who now voices a key character. Hopetown explores themes of journalism within a mining town, introducing a unique 'psychogeography system' where players use emotions and conversations to navigate the world instead of traditional game mechanics. The teaser showcases artistically rendered scenes, teasing the narrative depth that fans of Disco Elysium have come to cherish.

Hopetown is a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium and combines elements of investigative journalism within its gameplay mechanics. Its narrative innovation and involvement of notable ex-Disco developers aim to deliver a profound storytelling experience that expands upon the legacy left by its predecessor.

Disco Elysium, released in 2019, is a critically acclaimed role-playing game known for its rich narrative and deep moral complexities. It focuses on choices and dialogue, creating an immersive experience that resonates with players. Hopetown looks to build on this foundation, potentially becoming another landmark in the narrative RPG genre.
