It's a momentous occasion for fans of CRPGs, as the newly-released trailer gives us our first glimpse of what might just be the most eagerly awaited story-driven game to hit mobile devices in recent years: Disco Elysium is set to arrive on Android. And it's not just a simple port of the original; it's a fresh and distinctive take on the critically acclaimed game.

For those unfamiliar, 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. You'll need to interrogate suspects and navigate the city to untangle a complex web of conspiracies and conflicting stories.

Whether it's the unpredictable behavior of the protagonist that you can choose to resist or embrace, or the profound philosophical dialogues between Harry and the characters he encounters, there's no doubt why Disco Elysium has been hailed as a groundbreaking title.

Under normal circumstances, I'd be shouting my excitement from the rooftops. With all-new art and gameplay mechanics, plus 360-degree scenes you can explore using your phone's camera, Disco Elysium is arriving on mobile in what could be considered its best form yet.

However, many fans have seized this opportunity to discuss the high-profile split between Zaum and several key members of the original design team, as well as the layoffs and legal battles that followed. Given these challenges, it's nothing short of a miracle that Disco Elysium has made it to Android intact.

Whether this represents a new lease on life for Zaum or the final act they produce, this much-anticipated mobile version is sure to capture the attention of fans who have been eagerly awaiting a CRPG with such stellar writing and depth of content.

Disco Elysium is now available for pre-registration on Android.
