Disco Elysium Coming to Android as a Visual Novel

ZA/UM, the creators of the award-winning Disco Elysium, have exciting news for mobile gamers: an Android version is in the works! This isn't just a port; it's a reimagining.

The team at ZA/UM explains this shift as a way to introduce Disco Elysium to a wider audience while offering existing fans a convenient mobile option. A key part of their strategy? TikTok. Tõnis Haavel, head of ZA/UM, shared their vision:

"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."
