A series is in the works based on last year’s acclaimed video game “Disco Elysium” that “Sonic the Hedgehog” producers DJ2 Entertainment is developing.
The “Sonic” producers are partnering with the game’s developers, Za/Um, which released “Disco Elysium” on PCs through Steam last year. The game was the most critically acclaimed title of 2019, winning four prizes, including Best Narrative at the Game Awards and three BAFTAs. It was also named one of the best games of the 2010s by Time.
Za/Um has also signed with Apa as part of the new series, and DJ2 is now meeting writers in anticipation of pitching the property later this year. No network or streaming service is currently attached.
