Disco Elysium Mobile Launched: ZA/UM Targets TikTok Audience

Hot on the heels of its announcement of new game Project C4, ZA/UM has unveiled an official mobile version of the acclaimed RPG, Disco Elysium. This version is exclusive to Android devices and aims to introduce the game to new players while offering a convenient, on-the-go experience for existing fans. ZA/UM plans to release the first two chapters of Disco Elysium for mobile at no cost, allowing players to dive into the game's rich narrative before making a one-time payment to unlock the full, ad-free experience.

ZA/UM emphasized its 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 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, 360-degree scenes built to immerse mobile users directly into the world of Revachol. The game also features brand new audio with full voiceover, enhancing the immersive and character-rich experience.

The official description highlights that this mobile version is a total re-imagination of the award-winning, psychological RPG Disco Elysium, tailored to suit the habits of modern mobile users. The story-rich adventure has been optimized for short play sessions, making it perfect for players to enjoy anytime, anywhere on their mobile devices.

Narrative Lead Chris Priestman described Disco Elysium's mobile version as "what audiobooks wish they were," designed to be played in short bursts. The game is set to release on Google Android in the summer of 2025.

It's important to note that while the studio name remains ZA/UM, the team behind the original Disco Elysium has seen significant changes. Numerous former ZA/UM members have left the studio since the game's release, and some are now working on spiritual successors to the beloved RPG.
