Share this Article:

Disco Elysium isnā€™t resting on its laurels as it continues to scoop up awards and praise for its levelled-up spin on the RPG. Developer ZA/UM has now introduced a Hardcore Mode that is perfect for people who have already completed the game and are ready to get dragged across the coals. For anyone willing to attempt Hardcore Mode as a first playthrough ā€¦who hurt you?

See the full details over on Discoā€™s Steam community hub (pow! here it is), and welcome to Hardcore True Detective mode, chums:

ā€“ Youā€™re gonna fail more
ā€“ Youā€™re gonna be poorer
ā€“ Youā€™re gonna get screwed by Big Pharma
ā€“ Youā€™re gonna learn to love drugs
ā€“ Youā€™re gonna treasure your clothes
ā€“ Youā€™re gonna think more carefully
ā€“ Youā€™re gonna wise up faster

This ā€¦well, it sounds just a lot more like real life tbh.

ā€œThis isnā€™t meant for first-time detectives who arenā€™t already familiar with Martinaise. If youā€™re new on the beat, come back after youā€™ve already enjoyed your time in Revachol. This oneā€™s for officers ready to burn out on a wild ride,ā€ wrote ZA/UM.

ā€œBut if youā€™ve loved this strange story in this forgotten city, itā€™s a way to experience it from a new perspective—a Martinaise perspective. For those of us here at ZA/UM, whoā€™ve already spent hundreds of hours playing, this new mode been a wonderful chance to revisit the game in a fresh way.ā€

Disco Elysium is currently 20% off on Steam, at a reasonable £27.99.
