ZA/UM reveals Zero Parades: For Dead Spies patch roadmap

by Mikhail Madnani on 12 June, 2026

ZA/UM has revealed a patch roadmap for Zero Parades: For Dead Spies covering its plans to bring in new features and going over what it has added and fixed so far since launch.

ZA/UM is currently working on including community requested features like an instant language switch, inventory improvements, memory optimizations, technical improvements, and more. ZA/UM has also released another update for the game bringing more voiceover. If you haven't done so, you can read our full review here and my thoughts here covering the game on PC handhelds. Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is now available for PC (Steam, GOG). A PlayStation 5 release will follow later in the year.

Our latest update to ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is now available to download. 

Thank you for your continued patience whilst we work on the game behind the scenes! This patch resolves several player-reported issues, including:

Voiceover

  • Additional voiceover lines added, and sections of voiceover/dialogue mismatch resolved. More to come in our next update. 

Localization

  • Replaced the stylised title font in Chinese (Simplified) to improve readability, based on community feedback.

Gameplay

  • Addressed a bug where a handful of players were unable to deliver developed photos to Ignatz, in the “Who Cares About The Moon?” quest. Please note: this fix is not backwards compatible, but does not block overall game progression. 

  • Resolved a softlock issue in Eszti’s apartment, which occurred after creating and loading a save file in Eszti’s apartment during dark. 

  • Addressed the traversal bug some players experienced when equipped with the flashlight, notably inside the Palace of Culture. Additional improvements for this area are planned for our next patch. 

  • Further adjustments to the King of Trade’s cigarette changing logic. 

Notable Fixes / Additions

  • Fixes and memory optimisations to address game crashes that predominantly affected a subset of players on Steam Deck or lower-spec devices. 

  • Resolved the issue of the Skill Check result modal remaining on screen.

  • Improvements to control schemes, to address the control scheme switching after a prolonged session, e.g., the mouse becomes unresponsive. 

  • Rebalancing of Active Skill Checks at the beginning of the game based on player feedback, for a fairer chance

  • Updated animation for Autosave, Quicksave and manual saves.

Zero Parades Patch Roadmap

Support on ZERO PARADES hasn’t stopped on release day. So far, ZA/UM has released two updates to address issues reported by players and deliver some fan-favorite improvements. The developers are committed to a fast post-launch cadence, additional updates are planned for the coming weeks. 

The Day 7 Patch (patch notes here) introduced a number of missing voice over lines and fixed some inconsistencies between written and voiced text. Based on player feedback, the map menu now also shows opening times for discovered locations on a schedule. 

The Day 14 Patch (patch notes here) added missing voice over notably for Melita, Karolina and Ultra Violeta and introduced two major features which were requested by the community: Players can now use number keys to select dialogue options and create quick saves (F5) and load the most recent saves (F9). 

The studio is hard at work on future updates including community requests like adding an instant language switch allowing players language to switch text between any two different languages, improvements to the inventory system including adding filters, and seeing status effects before taking them. Additionally, the game is receiving memory optimizations and technical improvements across the board.

ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies (rated M for Mature by the ESRB) is now available for $39.99 on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and will release on PlayStation 5 (PS5) later this year.
