Disco Elysium, the acclaimed RPG from indie developer ZA/UM, will be adapted for a potential television series.
Variety reports the adaption is being handled by production company DJ2 Entertainment, which is also working on live-action adaptations of open world action game Sleeping Dogs and stealth title Echo.
