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

Following the exciting reveal of their upcoming project, Project C4, ZA/UM has now announced an official mobile version of the critically acclaimed game, Disco Elysium, exclusively for Android devices. The studio's aim is to introduce the game to new audiences and provide a convenient, on-the-go experience for existing fans. To entice players, ZA/UM will offer the first two chapters of Disco Elysium on mobile for free, with the option to purchase the full game once to enjoy it without ads.

ZA/UM emphasized their commitment to ensuring players can make informed purchasing decisions. "Today's ZA/UM studio is made up of both creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium IP. We take both roles seriously, and we believe this is reflected in the mobile experience we're developing," the studio stated.

Studio head Denis Havel shared ambitious plans for reaching a broader audience, particularly targeting the TikTok community. "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 in the world of Revachol. The mobile version also includes brand new audio with full voiceover to enhance the character-driven experience.

Here's the official description:

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

Disco Elysium is set to release on mobile via Google Android in the summer of 2025.

It's important to note that while the studio retains the ZA/UM name, many key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have since left the company. Numerous former ZA/UM members have departed, and some are currently working on projects that serve as spiritual successors to the game.
