ZA/UM Dates Zero Parades for May 21 on PC, With PS5 Release Later in 2026

A firm date with an accelerated localization rollout signals a bid to rebuild trust after years of studio turmoil.

Overview

  • Zero Parades, which ZA/UM dated Tuesday, launches May 21 on PC as a story-driven espionage RPG sold on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
  • The PC version is Steam Deck Verified at launch, confirming it meets Valve’s performance and input standards for the handheld.
  • Voice acting is in English, and day-one text support covers English, German, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Latin American Spanish.
  • ZA/UM says more languages will arrive starting late 2026 and continue through 2027, a faster plan than Disco Elysium’s years-long rollout.
  • Recent hands-on previews are mixed, and coverage notes the company’s legal fights and developer departures that now frame expectations for this follow-up.
