The first part of Heroines of Swords & Spells is getting Chinese localization! But for this very reason, the release of Heroines of Swords & Spells 2 is being moved to November 27, 2025.
I apologize to the players for yet another delay. I really didn't want to test your trust, but some unforeseen issues have come up and they require additional time to resolve.
It was a wonderful surprise that Zephyr Lee was able to fully translate Act 1 of Heroines of Swords & Spells into Chinese in such a short time. I'm currently preparing a patch to add the new language to the game, but this requires a significant refactoring. Some plugins and scripts were originally written to support only two languages, Russian and English. Chinese characters require special text-wrapping rules, and these rules mustn't ‘accidentally’ affect the other languages.
I hope Zephyr Lee doesn't abandon Heroines of Swords & Spells and we see the Goblin DLC and Act 2 translated into Chinese in the future. Therefore, even though only Russian and English will be available at the launch of Heroines of Swords & Spells 2, the game databases need to be synchronized in advance to avoid any future save file issues.
Furthermore (and perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself a bit here), we are also in discussions about localizing Heroines of Swords & Spells into other languages. It's too early for a formal announcement, but it's better to adapt the game's databases and code now to support five or more languages. I didn’t plan for this originally, which is why I need extra time to ensure the project is properly prepared for its release.
Once again, I sincerely apologize to the players. The project is not stuck in development hell. However, our lovely—if a bit hapless—heroines of swords and spells need to be properly prepared for their global expansion.ːHoSS_DianaːːHoSS_AnastasiaːːHoSS_SvetlanaːːHoSS_Feliciaː
I will do everything in my power to avoid any further delays. And if you simply can't wait to play, you can sign up for the closed beta test. Just drop me an email at [email protected].
