by Mikhail Madnani on 04 June, 2026

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies from ZA/UM has gotten its second post-launch update today on PC bringing in even more voiceover lines, new features, gameplay fixes, and more.

This update adds additional voiceover lines (Metlia, Karolina and Ultra Violeta), new quicksave and quickload options, the ability to use number keys to select dialogue options, and many fixes for gameplay issues with adjustments.

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. You can find the full patch notes (spoiler sections are on the Steam blog post) from ZA/UM below:

New game update now available, with numerous bugs addressed.

Our second patch for ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is now available to download!

A big thank you for your patience while we continue to work on the game behind the scenes. This latest patch addresses many player-reported issues and adds several new features, including (but not limited to!):

VOICEOVER

  • Additional voiceover lines added, notably for Metlia, Karolina and Ultra Violeta.

GAMEPLAY

  • Additional changes to the King of Trades in-game logic, to remedy issues with players unable to obtain the boar kibble.
  • Resolved an issue with Karolina becoming unrecruitable at the end of the (SPOILER) quest. This bug would arise following the assignment call with Melita.
  • The Fixed the issue of 'Craft a Gun' option being unavailable if players had previously made the model train.
  • Resolved White Checks disappearing from the map following sleep.
  • Fixed an issue where players could skip forced dialogues, e.g. during the "Escape The Bazaar" Dramatic Encounter, when interacting with the game menu or Objective View.
  • Oskar Metamoto will no longer take all your alcohol.
  • The infinite money exploit is no more: Melita can no longer be used for unlimited Sol.
  • Resolved the endless dialogue loop when encountering the Curious Machine. Please note: this fix is not backwards compatible with existing saves, so players still encountering this issue should progress the "In Defiance of All Known Laws" path to continue.
  • Addressed an issue with Karolina's questline in the "Convince Karolina to Get Some Sleep", where Karolina continues to ask for the figurine even after completing an alternative route.

ADDED FEATURES

  • Players can now use number keys to select dialogue options.
  • Create Quick Saves using F5, and use F9 to load the most recent save. Please note: we are working to improve the visuals of 'Quick Saved' confirmation and 'Saving Blocked' indicator, this will come in a later patch.
