The Sacred and Terrible Air

[Zaij.]

Hi all,
does anyone know when the book will be released in english? Thanks!

[Clown Reemus]

Not following you. Over.

The lead writer/designer's book that was published in Estonian. I think he's translating it himself? I don't know if there's been a specific date set.

[Zaij.]

I read on an interview somewhere that the english translation was finished and awaiting the release of the game. I was hoping it would be out soon.

[Du-Vu]

Fair enough. I don't know when the article I read came out, so you could be right.

Our Lead Designer & writer Robert Kurvitz is also known as the author of “Sacred & Terrible Air” (“Püha ja õudne lõhn” as originally published in Estonia.) The book takes place in the same world as Disco Elysium but 21 years later. It is currently in the process of being translated to English. Robert has been working hard to get Disco Elysium finished but once we have launched, he’ll be able to return to the book. Expect it in the second half of 2020.

Hi, sorry about reviving a inactive thread.

I am working at Turkish literary publisher called Ithaki Publishing and we absolutely love the game. When we found that there is a novel set in the same world as the game we got pretty excited. We are hoping to reach Robert Kurvitz or someone that's representing the translation rights of the novel because if possible, we'd like to translate the book into Turkish. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, all!

Any news on this? I'm eager to read it

Probably never going to happen as long as the legal battle continues.

Legal battle?
