Core members of the Disco Elysium team were “fired under false premises”, Martin Luiga has claimed in a new interview.
Luiga, one of the co-founders of the studio ZA/UM, originally stated the three leads had left “involuntarily”.
Designer Robert Kurvitz, one of the developers affected, later confirmed that he, along with writer Helen Hindpere and art director Aleksander Rostov, was no longer working at the studio.
In a short interview with GamePressure, Luiga revealed more about the background of the studio and the events leading up to the trio’s removal. “It happened late last year,” he stated. “They were fired on false premises,” he alleged, adding he could not disclose everything he knew to GamePressure due to uncertainty over NDAs.
