In 2021, less than two years after its release, Disco Elysium received a Final Cut update. As well as adding four quests, two songs, and some additional art and animations, it made the whole game fully voiced—bringing in an audience put off by the amount of reading Disco Elysium originally demanded.
Sovereign Syndicate, a steampunk CRPG quietly released a year ago, is planning something similar. Sovereign Syndicate is set in a version of Victorian London where creatures from mythology walk the streets and steam-powered airships fly overhead.
It has you play as multiple protagonists, with multiple mysteries to solve, like finding the identity of the Courtesan Killer and tracking down missing orphans.
Each of the three main characters has skills that interject in the stream of narration and dialogue, and that's where it most resembles Disco Elysium.
In a celebration of Sovereign Syndicate's one-year anniversary, developer Crimson Herring explained that the studio is currently working on a fully voiced director's cut, which will also have some new quality of life options and «additional comic panels» for the action sequences.
