Disco Elysium Mobile Launches Summer 2025!

Disco Elysium is coming to mobile! And not just a straight port – the team at ZA/UM is "reimagining" the psychological RPG to fit your phone screen, making it easier to dive into its deep story on the go.

The goal? To make Disco Elysium more accessible for mobile users, whether you're playing in short bursts or binging dialogue choices like an audiobook on steroids.

"We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio"

– said studio head, Denis Havel. Translation: they're making it easier for you to question reality while scrolling through your phone.

By the way, TikTok recently announced a healthy screen time feature to prevent teenagers from watching videos at night.

As seen in the trailer, the game's classic isometric style has been adapted for vertical screens. Instead of walking around like in the original, you’ll be swiping through dialogue choices - giving it a more visual novel vibe.

Narrative lead Chris Priestman explained:

"This reimagination is now structured to fit the way people play on mobile. It’s what audiobooks wish they were."

A bold claim, but considering the original game's award-winning writing, it just might work.

ZA/UM also promises mobile players an ad-free experience. The first two chapters will be free, and if you want the full story, you can unlock the rest with a single purchase. No microtransactions, no nonsense – just Disco Elysium in your pocket.

The game launches in the summer of 2025 for Android devices, and pre-registration is already open.

In other ZA/UM news, the studio also announced its next project: C4, a mix of espionage thriller and psychedelic sci-fi. Meanwhile, ex-Disco Elysium devs at Longuide (yes, the ones who left after the legal drama) are working on Hopetown, another narrative-driven RPG.

So, whether you're hyped for C4, Hopetown, or Disco Elysium on your phone, there's a lot happening in the world of cerebral, story-heavy RPGs. Now, let’s just hope this mobile version keeps the existential crises intact.
