New RPG Hopetown Introduced by Longdue

The development studio Longdue has announced Hopetown, a new RPG that positions itself as an heir to the acclaimed title Disco Elysium. Writer Olga Moskvina, who previously collaborated on Disco Elysium, is part of the development team. The new trailer showcases not only the game world but also features the voice of Lenval Brown, who voiced the predecessor. Hopetown is set in a dystopian future where a massive solar eruption decades ago destroyed all electronics. In this world, a mysterious substance called Quicksilver has been discovered, which allows for the restoration of lost connections.

The storyline revolves around uncovering secrets associated with this substance. In the gameplay, players take on the role of a journalist tasked with exposing a conspiracy within a corporation. The game mechanics place a strong emphasis on dialogue and the development of inner values, such as skills in photography and interviews. Players' decisions are expected to have a noticeable impact on the course of the story. The developers emphasize that Hopetown is not just a successor to Disco Elysium but also introduces its own ideas and concepts.

A combination of exploration, dialogue, and psychological elements aims to provide a unique gaming experience. Players will face moral decisions that influence the story's progression. The graphics of Hopetown are reminiscent of the style of Disco Elysium but bring their own visual accents. The world is richly designed and offers a variety of environments for players to explore. The developers have worked hard to create an immersive atmosphere that allows players to dive into the narrative.

Another aspect highlighted in the trailer is the interactivity of the game world. Players can interact with various characters and discover their stories. These interactions are intended to not only advance the plot but also influence the development of the main character. The release of Hopetown is planned for the coming months. The development team has already announced that they will provide regular updates and further information about the game.

The community is invited to participate in the development and provide feedback. The first gameplay scenes were released on May 20, 2026, and have already generated significant interest among RPG fans. The developers hope to usher in a new era in the genre with Hopetown.
