Le origini di Disco Elysium risalgono al 2005, quando lo scrittore estone Robert Kurvitz, che suonava nella band Ultramelanhool, immaginò un mondo immaginario durante una serata alcolica. Insieme ad altri artisti, tra cui il pittore Aleksander Rostov, futuro direttore artistico del gioco, sviluppò quel mondo come gioco di ruolo da tavolo ispirato a Dungeons & Dragons.

Con l'aiuto dello scrittore Kaur Kender, Kurvitz pubblicò nel 2013 un romanzo ambientato in quel mondo, che però vendette solo un migliaio di copie. Seguirono alcuni anni difficili, segnati da depressione e alcolismo. Quell'esperienza di fallimento divenne la filosofia del gioco: un poliziotto disastrato come protagonista e un sistema di dadi in cui fallire è parte della storia. Tra gli slogan scartati c'era proprio «un gioco di ruolo sull'essere un totale fallimento».

Kurvitz fondò lo studio ZA/UM nel 2016, e Disco Elysium uscì nel 2019, vincendo numerosi premi, tra cui quello per la miglior narrativa ai The Game Awards 2019. La Final Cut, presente qui, aggiunse il doppiaggio completo e nuovi contenuti.
