Disco Elysium Mobile Version Launched: ZA/UM Targets TikTok Audience

Following the exciting reveal of their new project, Project C4, ZA/UM has now announced an official mobile version of the critically acclaimed game, Disco Elysium. This version, exclusive to Android devices, aims to introduce the game to a new audience while providing a convenient, on-the-go option for existing fans. ZA/UM plans to release the first two chapters of Disco Elysium for free, with the option to unlock the full game with a one-time payment, ensuring an ad-free experience.

ZA/UM emphasized their commitment to allowing players to make informed purchasing decisions. "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," the studio stated.

Studio head Denis Havel shared that the mobile version of Disco Elysium is designed to appeal to the TikTok audience. "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.

Alongside the announcement, ZA/UM released a debut trailer and screenshots showcasing new, immersive 360-degree scenes tailored for mobile users, placing them right in the heart of Revachol. The game also features brand new audio with full voiceover, enhancing the character-rich experience.

Here's the official description:

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 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 name remains the same, many key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have since left ZA/UM. Numerous former ZA/UM members have departed the studio since the game's release, and some are now working on spiritual successors.
