ZERO PARADES adds PS5 version, launches in 2026

by

I’m so excited to hear that *ZERO PARADES*, the espionage RPG from ZA/UM, is coming to PlayStation 5! We already knew it was planned for PC, but now we’ll be able to play it on PS5 too, sometime in 2026. Can’t wait!

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

I’m so hyped for *ZERO PARADES* from ZA/UM! It’s a story-focused RPG where you play as a really skilled but troubled agent on a critical mission. Basically, you’ve got to rebuild your connections, figure out this crazy conspiracy at the end of history, and either become a legend or completely mess things up – and it looks like you can do that again and again. It sounds amazing!

A Spy Like No Other

You are Hershel Wilk, known as CASCADE-a once-brilliant operative now struggling with the weight of past failures and a possible curse. Five years after a disastrous mission, you’ve been called back into action with a new, enigmatic assignment that could be your chance at redemption.

Welcome to the End of History

Dive into a captivating new city where a fierce battle for beliefs and culture is unfolding. In ZERO PARADES, the city isn’t just a setting-it’s a living, breathing world full of hidden stories, painful pasts, and incredible surprises waiting to be uncovered.

Trust is a Volatile Plaything

Success in life usually requires help from friends, but you’re facing a different situation. Instead of allies, you’ll encounter powerful and unusual enemies – international bankers, shadowy figures controlling technology, even psychic copies of yourself. You’ll also meet a paranoid television host and a man who seems incapable of feeling. Everyone you meet has hidden motives and secrets, and you’ll need to figure them out and use them to your advantage.

Make It Up as You Go Along

This job involves a lot of failure – much more than success, actually. That’s perfectly normal. The important thing is how you recover from setbacks. Things often won’t go as planned, so you’ll need to be adaptable and deal with whatever happens, hoping the results aren’t too bad.

Key Features

  • Become an Anti-Icon – Play as Hershel—brilliant, relentless, magnetic… and cursed. A former top operant whose touch turns everything to ash. She is as dangerous to her enemies as she is to her friends.
  • Espionage Reinvented – Descend into a world of bootleg mind-erasure, failed space programmes, and state-sponsored pop stars. This is espionage stripped of glamour—no parades, no happy endings – at least probably not for you.
  • Failing Forward – In the life of an operant, failure is inevitable. Here, it’s another way forward – every misstep opens doors that success would run swiftly by.
  • A Story-Rich Espionage RPG – From the studio which brought you Disco Elysium. Blending the psychological depth of a spy novel with surrealist undertones and richly drawn characters.
  • A Question of Identity – Who are you when no one is watching? Or, at least, when you *think* no one is? In ZERO PARADES, the answer will define much more than just the assignment. Cope with the terror of reality by giving up parts of yourself and try not to lose your mind in the process.
