Zero Parades: For Dead Spies

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is an adventure game released on PC in May 2026 by ZA/UM, the studio behind Disco Elysium. Following its launch, the game's commercial performance prompted the studio to issue redundancy notices affecting up to 32 employees - a significant portion of its workforce. The layoffs reflect broader instability in the industry, though ZA/UM has stated its commitment to maintaining its artistic direction moving forward. The studio has faced considerable scrutiny in the past, but this latest setback underscores the precarious position even creatively ambitious developers face in the current market.
