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

Following the buzz around their newly announced Project C4, ZA/UM has now revealed an official mobile version of the critically acclaimed game, Disco Elysium. The mobile edition, which will be exclusive to Android devices, aims to introduce the game to new audiences while offering a convenient, on-the-go experience for existing fans. ZA/UM plans to release the first two chapters of Disco Elysium on mobile for free, allowing players to then unlock the full game with a one-time payment, ensuring an ad-free experience.

ZA/UM emphasized their commitment to transparency and quality, 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 the mobile version's appeal to the TikTok audience, saying, "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."

Alongside the announcement, ZA/UM released a debut trailer and screenshots for Disco Elysium on mobile. The game features new 360-degree scenes tailored to immerse mobile users directly into the world of Revachol, along with brand new audio and full voiceover to enhance the character-driven experience.

The official description of the game reads:

This is a total re-imagination of the award-winning, gripping psychological RPG Disco Elysium and designed to completely 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," designed for engaging, short bursts of play.

Disco Elysium is set to launch on mobile via Google Android in the summer of 2025. It's important to note that while the studio retains the same name, many of the key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have since left ZA/UM. Numerous former ZA/UM members have left the studio since Disco Elysium's release, and some are now working on spiritual successors.
