Here’s the official description:

This is a complete re-imagination of the award-winning, immersive psychological RPG, Disco Elysium, tailored specifically for mobile users. The story-rich adventure has been optimized for quick play sessions, allowing players to engage anytime, anywhere on their mobile devices.

Narrative Lead Chris Priestman described Disco Elysium's mobile version as "what audiobooks wish they were," designed for short, impactful bursts of play.

Disco Elysium will hit mobile devices via Google Android in the summer of 2025.

It's important to mention that while the studio retains the same name, many key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have since left ZA/UM. Numerous former members are now working on spiritual successors, adding an interesting dynamic to the game's legacy.
