ZA/UM, the controversial studio behind Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, has confirmed that its next CRPG will launch on Switch 2 on 3rd November 2026.

Zero Parades: Director's Cut is the studio's second outing and was released on PC in May of this year. The Director's Cut, which launched as a free update for owners on PC earlier this month, features several key improvements, including re-recorded English voiceover and a revamped inventory system.

As for the Switch 2 release, you can expect to find mouse controls along with touchscreen support and HD rumble.

ZA/UM was the subject of a major scandal following the departure of key development staff from Disco Elysium. Despite the studio itself being largely viewed in a negative light following the controversy, critical reception toward Zero Parades has been generally very positive.

The game currently sits at 83 on Metacritic, though it seems most outlets were quite enamoured with its narrative and themes, which naturally takes heaps of inspiration from its predecessor.

Here's a look at the key features:

• A NEW DRAMATIC ENCOUNTER, THE QUISACH ROUNDABOUT. Hershel and Ramses attempt the deceptively difficult task of exiting a roundabout while extremely high. Miss the exit and a simple drive home descends into dangerous and potentially existential territory.
• NEW SCENES, DEEPER RELATIONSHIPS. Nearly 40,000 words of new material give you more ways to build bonds with your friend and foe alike, find alternative ways to solve challenges, and delve deeper into your own embattled psyche.
• BACKSTAGE MODE. Walk through earlier iterations of selected levels and see how the environments of ZERO PARADES evolved, with technical breakdowns, creative inspirations, cut content and stories narrated by the game's Art Director.
• COMPLETED AND REVISED ENGLISH VOICE-OVER. Including a newly recorded opening alongside extensive audio revisions and fixes throughout the game.
• MORE OF PORTOFIRO. New clothing, Reverie portraits, pedestrians, death screens and further visual and atmospheric additions.
• QUALITY OF LIFE AND ACCESSIBILITY. Ultrawide support for 21:9 and 32:9 displays, inventory sorting, controller remapping and a new Photosensitivity Mode, alongside the broader refinements introduced since launch.
