Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is on track to be released in March 2021. This new version of the game is set to feature improvements to the base game, including more complete voice acting and new quests. The developer, ZA/UM, has assured fans that The Final Cut will be released in March despite concerns of Covid-related delays. This new version of the game is being heralded as the definitive edition, with many existing fans excited to see what the new iteration will bring to the title. Among the new additions, there is plenty of cause to be excited about the new political vision quests.
Political alignment in Disco Elysium is a major part of the game. The player character can gravitate towards communism, fascism, moralism, and ultraliberalism through dialogue choices. Even seemingly minor dialogue choices affect the protagonist’s alignment, with background operations taking into account all the dialogue choices selected. Political alignment influences the role-playing aspect, in addition to more tangible game mechanics too. With The Final Cut, developer ZA/UM is enabling players to explore political philosophy even more.

Ever since Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was announced, fans of the series have been wondering what the new version of the game would include. It became clear through interviews with the developer that it would feature greatly expanded voice acting, new areas, and new NPCs. One of the major additions is the political vision quests. These side quests are unrelated to the main narrative but allow players to more completely follow one of the four political ideologies featured in the game. Each alignment has an affiliated political vision quest, and they might be one of the most important additions to the game.
Political vision quests will have some meaningful effects on the game, including players committing to certain political paths and permanent changes to the user interface. There are 4 unique quests, with each embodying one of the political alignments players can pursue. The quests have been described by the developer as a means of interacting with new and expanded NPCs, meaning that these quests might be key to experiencing the new content in the world of Disco Elysium: The Final Cut. The political vision quests themselves seem like significant new additions, while also being a route to experiencing the interaction possible with new and improved NPCs, and the new voice acting.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is getting a lot of new content and it’ll feature new content and characters, but the political vision quests have been planned for some time. Before the original version of the game was released, these quests were planned but ultimately were scrapped by the time the RPG launched. For ZA/UM, this is an opportunity for the developer to create a more complete version of their game, with the political vision quests being key to them. Justin Keenan, the narrative designer, has stated these quests were planned for a long time, which hopefully means that the quests will have benefitted from being revised and worked on for some time now.
The compelling narrative of Disco Elysium has been met with nearly universal acclaim, and with the political visions quests, it might be enhanced even more. Political vision quests sound as though they will act as a satisfying exploration of political ideologies. Based on an interview with the narrative designer, Justin Keenan, the quests will act as a bookend to the different alignments and pull back the curtain some bit on the political machinations throughout the game.
While political alignment is an important factor in the original version of the game, it sounds as though the new quests in The Final Cut will give more context. Players will presumably be allowed to embrace the protagonist’s political leanings, no matter what they are, in a more complete way.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is a highly-anticipated release for March 2021, and it sounds like the new additions will be worth the wait for current and new fans. The political vision quests sound like they’re going to be significant, while also being a pathway to experience new and improved characters. For ZA/UM, it must be satisfying to have these long-planned stories finally realized and ready to be experienced by gamers all over. Players could have a lot to look forward to with these new political philosophy quests.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is set for release in March 2021 on PS4, PS5, and PC. The Xbox, Switch, and Stadia versions are planned to release later in 2021.
