During its recent State of Play showcase, Sony and ZA/UM have released a new trailer for its upcoming narrative RPG Zero Parades – For Dead Spies. Much like the studio’s previous game, Disco Elysium, Zero Parades – For Dead Spies makes use of similar gameplay systems, and even the art style looks quite close to the critically-acclaimed RPG. Check out the trailer below.
The trailer gave us a quick glimpse at some gameplay, which will largely revolve around the player, in the role of operant Hershel Wilk (also known as CASCADE), walk around the world and interact with objects, other characters, and even the personifications of various aspects of the character’s own mind.
The story this time around revolves around a three-way struggle for culture and ideology, and takes in an entirely new city from Disco Elysium. There is also a focus on espionage in the story this time around, as well as themes surrounding what mind-erasure technology might do to the world at large.
Zero Parades – For Dead Spies is coming to PC and PS5 in 2026.
