Disco Elysium Switch port currently in development

https://www.gamesradar.com/disco-elysium-switch-port/

Speaking exclusively to BBC 5live's 'Game On' podcast, which you can listen to here the game's art director Aleksander Rostov said that he was currently working on the design documents for the user interface ahead of migration to the popular portable device.
As Aleksander put it half jokingly to 5live's Adam Rosser, he was actually interrupting his work on the project.
Rostov's full comments were: "This interview is, at this very moment, interrupting me from writing up design documentation for the user interface and input systems for the Switch port".
Narrative lead Helen Hindpere followed that up with: "It's going to happen soon".

Wonderful news for folks such as myself who haven't bitten the bullet and would rather take the Disco with me wherever I go!

 

[cw_sasuke]

This is big.
Awesome news.

With Outer Worlds and DE two big western RPGs of last year are coming to the Switch, hope this trend continues.

 

[Etrian Darkness]

Now I wait for this version, as long as it runs good.

Nice, will double-dip. I played through it only once and it feels like I saw a fraction of the game.

 

[K Samedi]

Now that made my day. I love the art style of this game and the concept. I really was hoping it would come to Switch.

 

[Mekanos]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Dascu]

Great, will get if it's a good port.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

I guess it's double dip time.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

HUGE!
i really wanted this on switch, this is excellent news.

 

[Mifec]

Double dip time. Best game of last year, won't get surpassed this year either.

Definitely a Day 1 purchase for me, excited to play for the first time.

 

[Deleted member 51789]

Great news, this game deserves to be seen and played by as wide an audience as possible.

How do people who've played on Mouse and Keyboard feel it'll translate to switch? I know I want to try the game as some point and it's in depth on narrative, but really have no clue how it controls.

 

[Ludon Bear]

I wised, i played it on the Switch first. There is so much reading involved, it is like reading a good book. It just wasn't very comfy, doing it on a desk for many hours.

The game doesn't need the keyboard at all and i got sick of all the clicking. A controller is a better fit for the game, sine it isn't a strategy or tactic game at all.

 

[Ephonk]

Yes, great news.

 

[leng jai]

How technically demanding is the PC version? Wonder what kind of fidelity and performance we can expect on Switch.

 

[YaBish]

Best RPG I've ever played. Console players are in for a treat.

 

[Sander VF]

Yes! I wanted this!

 

[SinCityAssassin]

hGive me text size options and I'm in

 

[Deleted member 29682]

That's one way to announce it I suppose.

 

[Egida]

Expected, but awesome nonetheless. Day one.

 

[AusGeno]

Amazing news for me, this is one of the few games that almost had me dust off the gaming PC this year, glad I held out.

 

[Deleted member 37917]

Finally a fucking good news for me on switch!! Now bring Outer Wilds and 2020 is redeemed! (From a Nintendo viewpoint...)

 

[Protome]

I could have sworn this was announced already, not sure why.

I'll definitely replay this on Switch.

 

[ILikeFeet]

Better have touchscreen support

 

[Chackan]

Heard a lot about this game, but I don't have a computer to play it.

Is it Baldurs Gate type of game? D&D?

 

[Zlug]

I don't think I will double dip but this is great news.
Game is excellent and I strongly recommend it.

was already announced for ps4/xb1, iirc

Link to the OT, in case anyone wants to learn more about it: Disco Elysium |OT| No Truce with the Voices in my Head

 

[mutantmagnet]

This better get a decent push from Nintendo. A short video showing off the different ways a scenario will affect future scenarios would be perfect.

Not much. A ten-year old hardware like mine could run it well enough (aiming for 30fps). At slightly reduced settings, Switch should be able to get a constant 720p/30fps on handheld mode.


OP: A port for PS4/Xbox One was also confirmed last year, in case anyone didn't know/forget it.

 

[cowbanana]

Cool, but that's a lot of reading on a small screen. Amazing game, but don't think my eyes would survive playing this on Switch.

 

[Chibs]

I've been waiting for this!

 

[.exe]

Great news! More people should be able to play this.

That must be what I was thinking of! Probably enough people port begging that my brain assumed it was coming ;)

Click to shrink...

Yes and no.There aren't any fights in the game, but you have skill-checks, which can different outcomes and apposes to problems. Actually It represent the rollplaying aspect of Pen n' Paper games better, then many other videogames, since creating your character though actions, interactions and failure is the meat of the game.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Yes!!! Now that I have finished Divinity Original Sin 2 on Switch, this was the next wrpg I was keen to play on the system.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Hoping for cross-save support with the PC version from Day 1.

 

[jon bones]

Yes! Been meaning to play this but didn't want to play on PC. This will be perfect to digest in bed at night.

 

[dreamstation]

Game is a masterpiece. Hope it comes to all platforms so everyone can experience it.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Nice! This is one of the games Inreally wanted to try.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

i hope they pay extra attention to the font sizes and readability for handheld people.

 

[Starlatine]

Not much. A ten-year old hardware like mine could run it well enough (aiming for 30fps). At slightly reduced settings, Switch should be able to get a constant 720p/30fps on handheld mode.

My pc is six years old and the game ran pretty bad. It's very heavy for some reason despite not looking like it should be so i don't really agree with your statement.

 

[ghostcrew]

Truly one of the best games of last year, if not the decade. Hoping it comes to everything so nobody misses it.

 

[Soap]

I have been playing this on pc, but I'll be jonest and say I think I would rather complete this on Switch if given the choice.

 

[dude]

The more people who can play this masterpiece, the better. Hope it comes to iPads as well!
