Following the buzz around their new game, Project C4, ZA/UM has now announced an official mobile version of the critically acclaimed Disco Elysium. This version will be exclusive to Android devices, with the goal of introducing the game to new audiences while providing existing fans with a convenient, on-the-go option. ZA/UM plans to release the first two chapters of Disco Elysium for mobile free of charge, allowing players to then make a one-time payment to unlock the full, ad-free game.
"We want players to make an informed decision about their potential purchase," ZA/UM stated. "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 highlighted that the mobile version of Disco Elysium aims to engage 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 for Disco Elysium on mobile. The game features new, 360-degree scenes designed to immerse mobile users directly into the world of Revachol, complemented by brand-new audio with full voiceover for a richer 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 of Disco Elysium as "what audiobooks wish they were," tailored for players to enjoy in short bursts.
Disco Elysium will be available on mobile through Google Android starting in the summer of 2025.
It's important to note that while the studio name remains the same, many of the key individuals who originally worked on Disco Elysium have since left ZA/UM. Numerous former members have departed the studio, with some now working on spiritual successors to the game.
