ZA/UM, the creators of the award-winning Disco Elysium, have exciting news for mobile gamers: a dedicated Android version is in the works! This isn't just a port; it's a reimagining. Instead of the original's isometric gameplay, the mobile adaptation will be a fully voiced visual novel. Expect beautifully illustrated scenes, a branching narrative, and the same compelling dialogue that defined the original.
The team explains this shift as a way to "introduce Disco Elysium to a wider audience while offering fans a convenient mobile experience." A key part of their strategy involves reaching the TikTok generation, as ZA/UM head Tõnis Haavel explains:
"Our goal is to draw in TikTok users through short videos showcasing compelling stories, stunning illustrations, and captivating audio. This will redefine entertainment, offering a fresh and deeply engaging experience. Narrative-focused games like Disco Elysium deserve a place on mobile. By staying true to the original's spirit, we aim to reintroduce this masterpiece to both new and returning players. We hope everyone can rediscover their love for Disco Elysium—now easily accessible on their smartphones."
While a release date remains under wraps, ZA/UM promises to share more details soon.
