Back in March, it was officially announced that the beloved choice-based RPG Disco Elysium would be receiving a pseudo-reimagining for Android, with a switch-up in mechanics, game art and more. Now, the team at ZA/UM have detailed exactly when fans can get their hands on the title – with it set to arrive on the 5th of August.
Releasing a new trailer, the team at ZA/UM officially announced that Disco Elysium is coming to Android devices on the 5th of August – just 5 months on from its initial announcement.
As mentioned, this Android version of Disco Elysium is quite different from its console counterpart, with the mobile release featuring:
- New “handpainted” art
- 360 degree scenes
- Vertical orientation
- New audio and voice over
- Overhauled investigation mechanics
As revealed back when it was first announced, this upcoming Android release will be available to ‘purchase’ for free – giving you access to the titles first two chapters; 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 this upcoming release. Regardless, hopefully they managed to translate the experience to mobile well.
