Disco Elysium Coming to Android as a Visual Novel

ZA/UM, the creative minds behind the critically acclaimed Disco Elysium, have exciting news for fans and newcomers alike: they're developing a mobile version of the game, specifically tailored for Android devices. This adaptation promises a fresh take on the beloved title by transforming it into a visual novel format. Instead of the original isometric gameplay, players will dive into a world of illustrated scenes, nonlinear narratives, and fully voiced dialogue, making for a unique and immersive experience on the go.

The developers are keen on expanding the reach of Disco Elysium, aiming to "introduce it to a broader audience while providing loyal fans with an exciting mobile-friendly option." A key part of their strategy involves engaging TikTok users, as Tõnis Haavel, the head of ZA/UM, explains:

"Our goal is to draw in TikTok users through short videos packed with compelling stories, stunning illustrations, and captivating audio recordings. This initiative will redefine entertainment by offering a fresh and deeply engaging experience.

Narrative-focused games like Disco Elysium deserve a place on mobile platforms. By honoring the essence of the original work, we strive to reintroduce this masterpiece to both new and returning players. Our hope is for everyone to rediscover their love for Disco Elysium—now accessible on their smartphones."

While eager fans await more information, ZA/UM has promised to share further details, including the official release date, at a later time. This mobile version not only aims to bring the rich storytelling of Disco Elysium to new audiences but also to offer a convenient way for existing fans to enjoy the game on their smartphones.
