It's a landmark moment for fans of CRPGs, as a fresh trailer has given us our first glimpse at what might be the most eagerly awaited narrative-driven game to hit mobile platforms in recent years. Disco Elysium is set to launch on Android, and it's not just a simple port of the original game; it's been reimagined in a unique way.
For those unfamiliar, Disco Elysium places you in the role of Harry Du Bois, an amnesiac detective tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol, specifically in the district of Martinaise. You'll navigate the city, interrogate suspects, and untangle a complex web of conspiracies and conflicting stories.
Whether you choose to embrace or resist the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist, or engage in deep philosophical conversations with the characters Harry encounters, there's a compelling reason 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, innovative gameplay mechanics, and 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is arriving on mobile in what could be its best form yet.
However, amidst the excitement, many fans have revisited the high-profile split between Zaum and numerous members of Disco Elysium's original development team. Coupled with layoffs and legal battles, it's nothing short of a miracle that Disco Elysium has made it to Android intact.
Whether this marks a revitalization for Zaum or their last major release, this highly anticipated mobile version is sure to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly waiting for a CRPG with such acclaimed writing and content.
Disco Elysium is currently available for pre-registration on Android.
