Following the buzz around their new game, Project C4, ZA/UM has exciting news for fans of their critically acclaimed title, Disco Elysium. The studio has announced an official mobile version of the game, exclusively for Android devices. This move aims to introduce Disco Elysium to a broader audience while offering current fans a convenient, on-the-go gaming experience. The first two chapters will be available for free, with a one-time payment option to unlock the full, ad-free game.
ZA/UM emphasized their commitment to transparency, stating, "We want players to make an informed decision about their potential purchase." The studio, now a blend of creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium IP, is dedicated to delivering a high-quality mobile experience that reflects their serious approach to both roles.

Studio head Denis Havel shared an ambitious vision for the mobile version, targeting 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.
Alongside the announcement, ZA/UM released a debut trailer and screenshots showcasing new, immersive 360-degree scenes designed to place players right in the heart of Revachol. The mobile version also features brand new audio with full voiceover, enhancing the game's already rich character experience.
Here's the official description:
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 the mobile version as "what audiobooks wish they were," tailored for short bursts of play. Disco Elysium is set to launch on Google Android in the summer of 2025.
It's important to note that while the studio retains the same name, many key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have since left ZA/UM. Numerous former members are now working on spiritual successors, marking a significant shift in the studio's composition since the game's initial release.
