The studio, made up of both creators and custodians of the Disco Elysium IP, is dedicated to delivering a high-quality mobile experience.

Studio head Denis Havel expressed enthusiasm about reaching the TikTok audience with Disco Elysium on mobile. "We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment," Havel said.
Alongside the announcement, ZA/UM released a debut trailer and screenshots showcasing the mobile version. The game features new, 360-degree scenes designed to immerse mobile users directly into the world of Revachol, along with brand new audio and full voiceover to enhance the narrative experience.
Here's the official description:
This is a total re-imagination of the award-winning, gripping psychological RPG Disco Elysium and designed to completely cater to the habits of today's mobile users. This story-rich adventure has been optimized for short play sessions, allowing players to dive in anytime, anyplace on their mobile devices.
Narrative Lead Chris Priestman described the mobile version as "what audiobooks wish they were," emphasizing its suitability for short bursts of gameplay.
Disco Elysium will be available on mobile via Google Android in the summer of 2025.
It's important to note that while the studio retains the same name, many key contributors to the original Disco Elysium have since left ZA/UM. Numerous former ZA/UM members have left the studio since Disco Elysium's release, and some are now working on spiritual successors to the game.
