Disco Elysium, the critically acclaimed CRPG, is coming to mobile with a bespoke Android port

It's an exciting time for fans of CRPGs, as a newly released trailer has given us our first glimpse of what is likely the most eagerly awaited story-based game to arrive on mobile in recent years: Disco Elysium is set to launch on Android. And it's not just a simple port; it's coming with a fresh and unique twist.

For those unfamiliar, Disco Elysium casts you as amnesiac detective Harry Du Bois, tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol, specifically in the district of Martinaise. Your mission involves interrogating suspects and navigating the city to untangle a complex web of conspiracies and conflicting stories.

Whether it's the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist, which you can choose to resist or embrace, or the deep philosophical exchanges between Harry and the characters he encounters, Disco Elysium has earned its reputation as a groundbreaking release.

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

However, many fans have taken this opportunity to revisit the high-profile split between Zaum and numerous members of the original Disco Elysium design team. Combined with layoffs and legal battles, it's nothing short of a miracle that the game has made it to Android intact.

Whether it marks a new chapter for Zaum or serves as their final act (pun intended), this highly anticipated mobile port is sure to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly awaiting a CRPG of this caliber in terms of writing and content.

Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android.
