Disco Elysium Mobile Version Launched: Aimed at TikTok Users, Says ZA/UM

Following the announcement of their new game, Project C4, ZA/UM has unveiled an official mobile version of their critically acclaimed title, Disco Elysium. This mobile edition, exclusive to Android devices, aims to introduce the game to new audiences while offering existing fans a convenient, on-the-go alternative. ZA/UM plans to release the first two chapters of Disco Elysium on mobile for free, with the option to unlock the full game with a single payment, ensuring an ad-free experience.

ZA/UM emphasized their commitment to enabling players to make informed purchase decisions. The studio, now a blend of creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium IP, is dedicated to delivering a high-quality mobile experience. "We want players to make an informed decision about their potential purchase," ZA/UM stated. "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 strategy to engage the TikTok audience, aiming to deliver quick, compelling story segments along with striking art and immersive audio. "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 360-degree scenes designed to immerse mobile users directly into the world of Revachol. The game also features new audio with full voiceover, enhancing the character-driven experience.

The official description states: "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," tailored for brief, impactful play sessions. Disco Elysium is set to launch on Google Android in the summer of 2025.

It's important to acknowledge that while the studio name remains the same, many of the key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have since left ZA/UM. Numerous former members are now working on spiritual successors to the game.
