Overview

• ZA/UM confirmed a PlayStation 5 release for Zero Parades alongside the previously announced PC (Steam) version, targeting a 2026 launch window with no specific date yet.
• Hands-on previews highlight systems built around risk and resilience, including Pressures that track Fatigue, Anxiety, and Delirium, a Conditioning menu for shaping traits, dice checks, and a “failing forward” design.
• The game follows operant Hershel Wilk, also known as CASCADE, navigating Portofiro’s three-way ideological struggle and attempting to rebuild a fractured network.
• Reporters note strong parallels to Disco Elysium in art style, interface, and mechanics, with glimpses of detective-style evidence vision and a playing-card task menu.
• Coverage also flags audience skepticism tied to ZA/UM’s staffing changes, and notes that some showcased features came from an early prototype build.
