Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the direct follow-up to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Players again step into the shoes of Cal Kestis, a Jedi who survived Order 66 and now must stay hidden from the Empire. At launch, Russian language support was not included, not even subtitles or voice acting. This guide examines whether domestic localization could appear in the game and what fans should expect.
There have been cases in the industry where Russian subtitles arrived months after release. A notable example is Hitman 3, which released on January 20, 2021, and received Russian localization only with patch 3.5 on July 27. The delay was explained by IO Interactive as a strategic choice to avoid costs in regions with lower sales.
Why is there no Russian language in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor? In this case, the situation differs. The decision points to a broader EA Games policy that favors certain markets and language options, suggesting that the Russian language is unlikely to be added to an official release.
Russian community members have begun releasing early voice packs and text translations. At the moment, these are machine translations that render the general plot understandable but often miss nuance and wordplay essential to the original experience. More refined fan localizations are expected to appear over time, and this guide will be updated as soon as reliable options emerge.
During the early period, a volunteer studio focused on polished translations announced a broader project for full voice acting of Jedi: Survivor. While fans await progress, the official version remains without Russian audio.
For gamers on PC, unofficial translations are circulating in communities. For those on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, the likelihood of an official Russian translation is presently low, with no strong indication of imminent support.
