During the broadcast, <strong>Kurvitz expressed his appreciation for the more playful aspects, describing Fallout as a Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art, and enjoying the amusing sounds of violence in the game<\/strong>. This lighter approach was amplified by his comment that Fallout is not as cerebral as many believe, a contrast he accompanied with a touch of humor by wearing cat ears on his headset.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DISCO ELYSIUM - The Final Cut Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nk_K5DM0UTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>On another front, it has been reported that Kurvitz and two former members of ZA\/UM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/disco-elysium-ha-marcado-una-era-ahora-tres-estudios-se-pelean-por-hacer-su-secuela-espiritual\">have founded a new studio called Red Info<\/a>, amidst a legal battle over the rights to Disco Elysium.
