Disco Elysium Is Coming To Mobile To ‘Captivate The TikTok User'
That's the idea, anyway. As noted by Eurogamer, ZA/UM studio head Denis Havel described the port as being designed to 'captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment.' Condescending to your audience ahead of time by implying they lack the attention span for the original game is an interesting approach, but let's see if it gets better.
Narrative lead Chris Priestman adds, 'With this adaptation, Disco Elysium becomes more accessible than ever. This reimagination is now structured to fit the way people play on mobile, making it effortless to enjoy in short bursts. It's what audiobooks wish they were.' Okay, Disco Elysium is apparently covering ground the entire audio storytelling industry can't, according to ZA/UM. Havel also says:
'Mobile players deserve deep, story-rich experiences, like Disco Elysium. With profound respect for the original's artistry and meaning, we move forward as both custodians and creators, bringing this masterpiece to new and returning players alike. We want you to fall in love with Disco Elysium on your phone - all over again.'
There's an annoying tendency in video games for people to oversell things as possessing an artistic or cultural significance unlike anything you've seen before (check out any time someone who worked on The Last of Us talks about it), but hearing this kind of prattling on from ZA/UM is especially grating considering the studio's very public fallout with most of the creative team who developed Disco Elysium. Even if the reimagining looks like a pretty intuitive port for your phone, I can't help but get the ick reading how this team talks about it.
Disco Elysium is coming to Android devices later this year, and pre-registration is open now. The port will be free to start, allowing you to play the first two chapters before having to put any money down. There's currently no word on whether the game will come to iOS. Earlier this week, ZA/UM also announced spy RPG Project [C4].For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Watch Chris Brown Surprise a 13-Year-Old Fan & Her Mom With a New Car & $10,000 at Recent Tour Stop
A 13-year-old fan and her mother received the ultimate surprise when attending a recent Chris Brown concert, as Breezy and TikTok influencer MDMotivator hooked up the pair with a special VIP package that included $10,000 and a new car. And it was all caught on video, which the star shared on social media Sunday (Aug. 10). It all starts with MDMotivator looking for the biggest Chris Brown fan and caught 13-year-old Gabby's attention, who recognized CB's 11-year-old daughter, Royalty, nearby. More from Billboard The Life of a Prolific Pop Star: 'Showgirl' Will Be Taylor Swift's Ninth Full-Length Album of the 2020s How Preston Cooper Went From 'The Singing Mailman' to Writing His First Country Hit With The Warren Brothers Travis Kelce Calls Taylor Swift an 'Athlete,' Praising the 'Mind-Blowing' Amount of Work She Puts Into Shows Gabby then convinced her mother to purchase the 'mystery tickets' from MDMotivator for $5, for which they received a Breezy Bowl filled with $10,000 in cash and the opportunity to meet Brown himself that night. 'This is the best night of my life!' Gabby cries in the video. 'Chris, you influenced my whole dance career. I grew up dancing to you. You're such an inspiration to me. I love you so much!' Brown is shown in the clip giving MDMotivator his flowers for 'changing people's lives,' and also shared that his daughter Royalty cried after watching one of the influencer's videos in which he's helping others. The video then shows Gabby and her mom being blindfolded and escorted to a parking lot, where they were in shock after seeing a brand new Ford with a red bow on it that they would be taking home. Once Brown found out Gabby was a dancer, he gave her some advice for the road ahead. 'You said you dance? Don't stop, go harder and harder,' he relayed. 'Always be yourself. I love you guys.' CB got a ton of love in his comment section from the likes of Tony Yayo, Kelly Rowland and actor Omari Hardwick. Brown's Breezy Bowl XX stadium tour continues this week with shows in New Jersey and Philadelphia.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are winning people over one TikTok video at a time.

Earlier this week, JoJo shared a video from their three days exploring the new Star of the Seas Royal Caribbean cruise — their newest and largest ship. Along with Chris, some of JoJo's family also came along for the adventure. Related: The nearly 30-second video featured a ton of sweet clips showing the couple smiling and giggling while trying out all of the amenities. From a giant waterslide... ...to showing off skills on the basketball court... ...and racing down another waterslide...

Related: Related: These positive comments come after JoJo received a lot of backlash when she admitted she "felt pressure to identify as a lesbian," and dumped her ex Kath Ebbs at the Celebrity Big Brother UK wrap party. Some people from the LGBTQ+ community accused JoJo of turning her back on them when she publicly stated that she no longer identified as a lesbian, while also going public with her relationship with Chris on Instagram. Needless to say, I think we can all agree it's ultimately not our place to tell her who to love. And I'm glad fans are finally allowing her to enjoy this happy time in her life, no matter who she loves!
