Disco Elysium is getting a pseudo-reimagining for Android
Disco Elysium was revered upon its release back in 2019 with the choice-based RPG being praised for its writing, atmosphere and freedom. In an interesting move, the game is now being adapted for Android – with quite a different take on the original game’s formula.
Making the announcement, the team at ZA/UM officially detailed this remake/reimagining of the Disco Elysium story but in a different medium, with them explaining:
“The world of Disco Elysium comes to you with new incredible handpainted art. The city of Revachol is yours to inspect one beautiful scene at a time. Seek out the details among the brushstrokes that will illuminate the truth.”
They continue: “Move your phone around in new 360-degree scenes that put you right in the middle of the investigation. New captivating audio helps you sink further into the world by appealing to your senses while full voiceover brings every character to life in your ears.”
Disco Elysium is set to come to Android sometime during the Summer of this year. Upon launch, players will be able to play the first two chapters for free, at which point you can then pay a single fee to unlock the remainder of the game.
While this adaptation for mobile does seem like an interesting concept, the legal and ethical controversies surrounding ZA/UM does put a bit of a damper on the announcement. Regardless, hopefully they managed to translate the experience to mobile well.
