Official Disco Elysium Mobile Version Announced, ZA/UM Calls It a 'Fun, On-the-Go Alternative' Aimed at TikTok Users

Following the announcement of their new game, Project C4, ZA/UM has revealed an official mobile version of the acclaimed Disco Elysium, exclusively for Android devices. Their aim is to introduce the game to a wider audience while offering existing fans a convenient, portable alternative. To achieve this, the first two chapters will be available for free, with a one-time purchase unlocking the complete, ad-free experience.

ZA/UM emphasizes a commitment to transparency, stating, “We want players to make an informed decision about their potential purchase. Today’s ZA/UM studio is comprised of both creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium IP. We take both of those roles very seriously and we believe that is evident in the Disco Elysium mobile experience we are creating.”

Studio head Denis Havel highlighted a specific target audience: TikTok users. “We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment,” Havel explained.

The announcement included a debut trailer and screenshots showcasing new, 360-degree scenes designed for mobile users, placing them directly within the world of Revachol. The mobile version also features full voice acting for a richer, more immersive experience.

Here’s the official description:

This is a total re-imagination of the award-winning, gripping psychological RPG Disco Elysium, designed to cater to the habits of today’s mobile users. This story-rich adventure has been optimized for short play sessions, allowing players to dive in anytime, anyplace on their mobile devices.

Narrative Lead Chris Priestman described the mobile version as “what audiobooks wish they were,” emphasizing its suitability for short bursts of gameplay.

Disco Elysium will launch on Android devices in Summer 2025.

It's important to note that, while the studio name remains the same, significant personnel changes have occurred since the original Disco Elysium’s release. Many former ZA/UM members have departed the studio, some of whom are now working on projects that could be considered spiritual successors.
