Hot on the heels of its announcement of the new game Project C4, ZA/UM has unveiled an official mobile version of the critically acclaimed Disco Elysium, exclusively for Android devices. The studio's goal is to introduce the game to new audiences while offering existing fans a convenient, on-the-go alternative. To achieve this, ZA/UM will release the first two chapters of Disco Elysium for mobile for free. Players can then opt to make a one-time payment to unlock the full game, ensuring an ad-free experience.
"We want players to make an informed decision about their potential purchase," ZA/UM stated. "Today's ZA/UM studio is comprised of both creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium IP. We take both of these roles very seriously, and we believe that is evident in the Disco Elysium mobile experience we are creating."

Studio head Denis Havel emphasized that Disco Elysium on mobile aims to attract 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.
ZA/UM's announcement was accompanied by a debut trailer for Disco Elysium on mobile, as well as captivating screenshots. The mobile version features new, 360-degree scenes designed to immerse users directly into the heart of Revachol. Additionally, the game includes brand new audio with full voiceover, enhancing the narrative depth and character richness of the experience.
Here’s the official blurb:
This is a total re-imagination of the award-winning, gripping psychological RPG Disco Elysium and designed to completely cater 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 Disco Elysium's mobile version as "what audiobooks wish they were," tailored for engaging, brief play sessions.
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 name remains the same, many key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have departed ZA/UM. Numerous former ZA/UM members have left the studio since Disco Elysium's release, and some are now working on spiritual successors.
