Indie game 'Disco Elysium' will be turned into a TV show

For fans of the detective role-playing game Disco Elysium, you might be pleased to hear that the game will be turned into a television show. Developer ZA/UM and production house Dj2 Entertainment announced its plans to develop the series, but it's currently in its early stages without a distributor or writing team. Dj2, who brought Sonic the Hedgehog movie to life, is meeting with potential writers with plans to pitch the show later in the year. 

Of course, having these plans don't necessarily mean it'll happen soon. Disco Elysium does lend itself to become a good show with its story focusing on a detective trying to solve a crime that might provoke a civil war.

OnePlus teases new smartphone with upcoming documentary

 

OnePlus has been teasing an upcoming release of a new phone that has been called the OnePlus Z or the OnePlus Nord. Aside from putting up a mysterious Instagram account, the company will release a documentary called New Beginnings to give us a better insight into the device rumoured to be coming out in July. The documentary's trailer recently went online, with the documentary set to premiere on June 30. 

The documentary itself has an interesting premise. The OnePlus team working on the phone had only six months to get everything done. And from what the teaser has shown us, it hasn't been an easy time given the shorter than usual development cycle. There will be four parts to New Beginnings, and we aren't sure when the other parts are dropping.
