Disco Elysium: Critically Acclaimed CRPG Now Coming to Mobile with Android Port

It's a thrilling day for fans of CRPGs as the much-anticipated story-driven game, Disco Elysium, gears up for its arrival on Android. A newly-released trailer not only offers our first glimpse at this eagerly awaited mobile version but also showcases that it's more than just a simple port of the original game.

For those unfamiliar with the title, Disco Elysium places you in the role of an amnesiac detective, Harry Du Bois, tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol's Martinaise district. Your journey involves interrogating suspects and navigating the city to untangle a complex web of conspiracies and conflicting stories.

The game's appeal lies in its unique elements, such as the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist, which you can choose to either resist or embrace, and the profound philosophical exchanges between Harry and the characters he encounters. These features have cemented Disco Elysium's status as a groundbreaking release in the gaming world.

Under normal circumstances, I'd be ecstatically shouting this news from the rooftops. With all-new art, innovative gameplay mechanics, and the addition of 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is coming to mobile in arguably its best form yet.

However, the excitement is tempered by the backdrop of recent events at Zaum, the game's developer. The high-profile split with many members of the original design team, coupled with layoffs and ongoing legal issues, casts a shadow over this release. Despite these challenges, it's a testament to the resilience of the project that Disco Elysium has made it to Android intact.

Whether this mobile port marks a new beginning for Zaum or serves as their final act, it is poised to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly awaiting a CRPG with such depth in writing and content. Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android, and the anticipation among fans is palpable.
