It's a momentous occasion for fans of CRPGs, as a newly released trailer has given us our first glimpse at arguably the most eagerly awaited story-based game to come to mobile in recent years: Disco Elysium is set to launch on Android. And it's not just a simple port; it's a fresh take on the critically acclaimed title.
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 within the Martinaise district. You'll navigate through a complex tapestry of conspiracies and conflicting narratives by interrogating suspects and exploring the city.
The game has earned its reputation as a groundbreaking release, thanks to the erratic behavior of its protagonist, which players can either resist or embrace, as well as the deep philosophical dialogues between Harry and the characters he encounters.
Just call me JoyceUnder normal circumstances, I'd be shouting my excitement from the rooftops. With all-new art, innovative gameplay, and immersive 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is poised to arrive on mobile in what may be its most engaging form yet.
However, fans have not hesitated to revisit the high-profile fallout between Zaum and numerous members of the original Disco Elysium design team. Coupled with layoffs and ongoing legal battles, it's nothing short of a miracle that Disco Elysium has reached Android intact.
Whether this mobile release breathes new life into Zaum or marks their final endeavor, this highly anticipated port is sure to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly waiting for a CRPG that matches Disco Elysium's exceptional writing and content.
Disco Elysium is now open for pre-registration on Android.
