It's a momentous occasion for fans of CRPGs, as a recently unveiled trailer has given us our first glimpse at what is arguably one of the most eagerly awaited story-driven games to come to mobile in recent years. Disco Elysium is set to make its debut on Android, and it's not just a simple port of the original game; it's a fresh and unique adaptation.
For those unfamiliar, Disco Elysium places you in the role of an amnesiac detective named Harry Du Bois, tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol, specifically in the Martinaise district. To uncover a complex network of conspiracies and conflicting stories, you'll need to interrogate suspects and explore the city.
Whether it's the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist, which you can choose to resist or embrace, or the deep philosophical conversations between Harry and the characters he encounters, there's a compelling reason why Disco Elysium is regarded as such a groundbreaking title.
Under normal circumstances, I'd be shouting my excitement from the rooftops. With all-new art, gameplay mechanics, and 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is coming to mobile in what may be its best form yet.
However, many fans have seized the opportunity to highlight the high-profile split between Zaum and numerous members of Disco Elysium's original design team. Coupled with layoffs and legal disputes, it's nothing short of a miracle that Disco Elysium has made it to Android intact.
Whether it serves as a new lease on life for Zaum or marks their final chapter, this highly anticipated mobile port is sure to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly awaiting a CRPG with its level of writing and content.
Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android.
