This shift in format, according to the developers, aims to broaden Disco Elysium’s reach while offering a convenient option for existing fans. A key part of their strategy involves engaging the TikTok audience. Tõnis Haavel, head of ZA/UM, explains:
"Our goal is to draw in TikTok users through short videos packed with compelling stories, stunning illustrations, and captivating audio recordings. This initiative will redefine entertainment by offering a fresh and deeply engaging experience. Narrative-focused games like Disco Elysium deserve a place on mobile platforms. By honoring the essence of the original work, we strive to reintroduce this masterpiece to both new and returning players. Our hope is for everyone to rediscover their love for Disco Elysium—now accessible on their smartphones."
