Disco Elysium: Critically Acclaimed CRPG Now Coming to Android

It's an exciting day for fans of CRPGs as a newly-released trailer gives us our first glimpse at one of the most eagerly awaited story-driven games coming to mobile in recent years: Disco Elysium is set to launch on Android. But this isn't just a simple port of the original; it's a fresh and distinctive take on the acclaimed game.

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

Whether you're drawn to the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist, which you can choose to resist or embrace, or the deep philosophical exchanges between Harry and his interlocutors, there's no doubt why Disco Elysium has been hailed as a groundbreaking title.

Under normal circumstances, I'd be shouting my excitement from the rooftops. With all-new art and gameplay, including immersive 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is arriving on mobile in what might be its most impressive form yet.

However, the anticipation is tinged with concern due to the high-profile split between Zaum and several members of the original Disco Elysium design team, along with subsequent layoffs and legal issues. It's almost miraculous that the game has made it to Android intact.

Whether this mobile version breathes new life into Zaum or serves as their final major release, this highly-anticipated port is sure to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly awaiting a CRPG of this caliber in terms of its narrative and content.

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