It's a landmark moment for fans of CRPGs, as a newly-released trailer offers our first glimpse at one of the most eagerly awaited narrative-driven games to hit mobile in recent years: Disco Elysium is finally coming to Android. But it's not just a simple port; it's a fresh take on the original that promises to enhance the experience in new and exciting ways.
For newcomers, Disco Elysium casts you as amnesiac detective Harry Du Bois, tasked with unraveling a murder mystery in the city of Revachol's Martinaise district. As you delve deeper, you'll interrogate suspects and navigate through a complex tapestry of conspiracies and divergent storylines.
The game's appeal lies in its ability to let you embrace or resist the unpredictable behavior of your protagonist, coupled with deep philosophical exchanges that have cemented Disco Elysium's reputation as a trailblazing title in the genre.

Ordinarily, I'd be ecstatically shouting this news from the rooftops. With all-new art, innovative gameplay mechanics, and immersive 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is poised to arrive on mobile in what might be its most compelling form yet.
However, the excitement is tempered by the well-publicized fallout between Zaum and several key members of the original Disco Elysium design team. Coupled with layoffs and legal entanglements, it's nothing short of miraculous that the game has reached Android intact.
Whether this mobile release breathes new life into Zaum or marks their final major endeavor, it's undeniable that this long-awaited port will capture the attention of fans eager for a CRPG that matches Disco Elysium's renowned narrative depth and richness.
Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android, setting the stage for what could be a transformative experience in mobile gaming.
