It's an exciting time for fans of CRPGs, as the much-anticipated story-based game, Disco Elysium, is set to make its debut on Android. A newly released trailer has given us our first glimpse into this highly awaited mobile version, which promises to be more than just a simple port of the original game.
In Disco Elysium, you step into the role of amnesiac detective Harry Du Bois, tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol, specifically within the district of Martinaise. As you navigate this complex world, you'll interrogate suspects and explore the city, untangling a dense network of conspiracies and conflicting narratives.
The game's unique charm lies in the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist, which players can choose to either resist or embrace, as well as the deep philosophical conversations between Harry and the characters he encounters. These elements have earned Disco Elysium a reputation as a groundbreaking title in the genre.

Under normal circumstances, I'd be ecstatically announcing this from the rooftops. Disco Elysium's mobile version is coming with all-new art and gameplay mechanics, including immersive 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera. It's shaping up to be the best possible version for mobile.
However, the excitement is tempered by ongoing discussions among fans about the fallout between Zaum and many members of the original Disco Elysium design team. The layoffs and ensuing legal battles have cast a shadow over this release, making its arrival on Android all the more remarkable.
Whether this mobile port represents a new beginning for Zaum or a final chapter, it's clear that Disco Elysium on Android will capture the attention of fans eager for a CRPG with its level of storytelling and content.
Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android, offering fans a chance to experience this acclaimed game on their smartphones.
