Following the announcement of their new game, Project C4, ZA/UM has revealed an official mobile version of the acclaimed Disco Elysium, exclusively for Android devices. Their aim is to introduce Disco Elysium to a wider audience while providing existing fans with a convenient, portable alternative. To achieve this, the first two chapters will be available for free, with a one-time purchase unlocking the complete, ad-free game.
ZA/UM emphasizes a player-centric approach, stating, “We want players to make an informed decision about their potential purchase. Today’s ZA/UM studio is comprised of both creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium IP. We take both of those roles very seriously and we believe that is evident in the Disco Elysium mobile experience we are creating.”

Studio head Denis Havel highlights the game's appeal to the TikTok generation, stating, “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.”
The announcement includes a debut trailer and screenshots showcasing new 360-degree scenes designed for mobile users, placing them directly within Revachol. The experience is enhanced with full voiceover for a more immersive and character-rich adventure.
The official description reads:This is a total re-imagination of the award-winning, gripping psychological RPG Disco Elysium, designed to 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 describes the mobile version as “what audiobooks wish they were,” emphasizing its suitability for short bursts of gameplay.
Disco Elysium will launch on Android devices in Summer 2025.
It's important to note that, while bearing the same studio name, many key personnel from the original Disco Elysium team are no longer at ZA/UM. Significant departures have occurred since the original game's release, with some former members now working on spiritual successors.
