Hello Voyagers! Michael / Spacenorth here with an important localization update.
Simplified Chinese is Delayed
We've made the painful decision to delay our Simplified Chinese localization at Early Access launch. Looking at our community outreach efforts and translation quality coverage, we don't feel confident we can deliver a good enough experience for Chinese players by September 16th.
For players who've followed our streams and blogs, you know we want to build great collaborative experiences for friends to enjoy together. China has one of the most social and passionate gaming communities in the world, and we think Voyagers of Nera could be a great fit! That's exactly why we want to get this right.
By delaying, we hope to find a great local partner who can help us both market the game effectively and ensure the translation quality meets players' expectations.
Our Updated Plans
We're planning to officially launch Simplified Chinese support in December, alongside a major content update and Steam Winter Sale discount.
Launching into Early Access first and demonstrating player interest will help us connect with potential partners who can ensure we deliver both a localization and experience that Chinese players will love.
We apologize to players who have been waiting for Chinese support, and thank you for your patience as we work to bring Voyagers to players around the world in the best way possible.
Wish us luck on our September 16th launch - we can't wait to invite you all to Voyagers of Nera soon!
Michael and the Treehouse Team
