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, though. To make the game accessible to a wider audience, Disco Elysium for mobile will be reimagined as a visual novel. Expect stunning illustrations, a branching narrative, and fully voiced dialogue—a departure from the original game's isometric perspective.
This mobile adaptation aims to both introduce Disco Elysium to a new generation of players and offer a convenient alternative for existing fans. ZA/UM's Tõnis Haavel explains the 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."
While a release date remains unannounced, ZA/UM promises to share more information soon.
