Disco Elysium Mobile Launched: ZA/UM Targets TikTok Audience

ZA/UM has recently unveiled plans for a mobile version of the critically acclaimed game, Disco Elysium, exclusive to Android devices. This move aims to introduce the game to a broader audience while providing a convenient, on-the-go experience for existing fans. The first two chapters will be available for free, with a one-time payment option to unlock the full game without ads.

The studio emphasized their commitment to transparency, allowing players to try the game before committing to a purchase. "We want players to make an informed decision about their potential purchase," ZA/UM stated, highlighting their dual role as creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium intellectual property.
