Former Disco Elysium Developers Announce Red Rooster, a Physics‑Driven RPG for PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2

Summer Eternal, a studio founded by former Disco Elysium developers, announced the physics‑driven RPG Red Rooster. The announcement was made for Nintendo Switch 2, while the game will launch first on PC.

Players assume the role of Redrick Roost, a white‑collar inmate turned arson investigator who partners with an opiate‑dependent mathematician to uncover a string of fires linked to his brother, the city’s fire‑chief. The story unfolds in the fractalized border archipelago of Arta‑Tantor, a politically charged, science‑fiction‑laden city.

Summer Eternal is building the title in Unreal Engine, leveraging its advanced physics simulation. Alongside the game, they are releasing a 500‑page physical book titled Anthology Volume One, showcasing concept art and world‑building. The deluxe edition will also include a limited‑edition 10‑inch vinyl record with four tracks from the game’s soundtrack.

Red Rooster will debut on PC first, followed by releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2. No specific launch date has been announced for any platform. The game’s development team hopes to bring its immersive, burn‑able world to a wide audience across consoles and PC.
