    It seems to be the planned sequel that Dora and Argo (and others) were working on. An internal presentation showcasing the design documents and progress was leaked back on April 1st, but it turns out it (most likely) wasn’t an elaborate April Fools but was actually real.

      It was supposed to be a standalone dlc, not a full sequel. It was apparently because they couldn’t move foward with DE2 right away because of the legal troubles, I’m paraphrasing though.

      I do think I figured out what the full sequel would have been about though, doubt we’ll get it for a long time if ever though.

      Clasje had a lot of similarities to Harry, she had substance abuse issues and we never found out her true name. I think the sequel would have us play as Clasje, waking up from a bender with amnesia, just like Harry in the first game. We still wouldn’t know her real name and background because of the way the first game treated her, and it was hinted she was some sort of secret agent, so we would be playing as a spy instead of a cop.

        I think making a “Harry but female” game would be way too similar, I don’t think they would go for something like that personally. Back in 2019 before he was fired Kurvitz was talking about wanting the second game to be about playing as a five-months-pregnant woman.

        Though current ZA/UM is making a game about a female spy that looks to be borrowing heavily from Disco so you might get your game after all, at least in some form.
