Launch timing
PC on May 21, 2026
PS5 is listed separately for 2026, so the date should not be merged across platforms
Core hook
Espionage CRPG
Skills, dice rolls, Tactical View, and failure-forward decisions are the useful pre-release hooks
Content stance
No fake walkthroughs
Endings, choices, builds, achievements, and routes should wait for the live build

Pre-release content plan
ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is a new espionage CRPG from ZA/UM, currently listed for a May 21, 2026 PC release through Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. The official press page also lists PlayStation 5 for 2026, so this hub keeps PC launch timing and later PS5 timing separate.
This hub is intentionally narrow before launch. It answers the questions players are already asking: when it releases, whether it is like Disco Elysium, what the skill and encounter systems actually promise, whether it is single-player, and whether day-one buyers should wait for performance and route evidence.
