It's an exciting time for fans of CRPGs, as the much-anticipated story-driven game, Disco Elysium, is set to make its debut on Android. A newly released trailer has given us our first glimpse into this mobile adaptation, which promises to be more than just a simple port of the original game.
For those unfamiliar with the title, Disco Elysium casts you as the amnesiac detective Harry Du Bois, tasked with solving a murder in the city of Revachol, specifically in the district of Martinaise. Your journey involves questioning suspects and navigating the city to untangle a complex web of conspiracies and conflicting stories.
The game has earned its reputation as a groundbreaking release thanks to its unique features. Players can choose to either embrace or resist the erratic behavior of the main character, engage in deep philosophical dialogues, and experience a narrative that has captivated audiences worldwide.
Under normal circumstances, I'd be shouting my excitement from the rooftops. Disco Elysium is coming to mobile with all-new art and gameplay mechanics, including immersive 360-degree scenes that you can explore using your phone's camera. It's shaping up to be the best possible version for mobile players.
However, the excitement is tempered by the backdrop of recent events. Many fans have brought up the high-profile split between Zaum, the game's developer, and several key members of the original design team. Coupled with layoffs and legal disputes, 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 chapter, it's clear that this highly anticipated port will capture the attention of fans eagerly awaiting a CRPG with such rich storytelling and content.
Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android.
