Electronic Arts has stepped back from providing Russian localization in several recent releases, leaving gaps in language options for players. Titles like Remake Empty Space, Wild Hearts, and Need for Speed Unbound shipped without official Russian translation. There’s a chance this could change with a major upcoming release, such as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, where fans and observers are watching for any announcements about language support.
In conversations around localization, Mikhail Martyanov mentioned Cal Kestis from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as a potential candidate for Russian voice work. The actor suggested that the game might receive Russian audio, or at least a Russian subtitle track in the future.
Whether Martyanov referred to formal localization or a fan-made translation remains uncertain. The actor also noted that translation projects come with their own deadlines, which means any Russian version could arrive as a fan effort before or alongside an official release. For owners of consoles, this kind of news is a mixed bag—enthusiasts may welcome fan-created options, while console players often prefer official, polished localization from the publisher.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor released on April 28 for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Ahead of or after launch, developers shared additional gameplay footage and updates. Separately, the modding community has already shown its footprint in other titles, with examples like Hogwarts Legacy where creative mods alter character appearances and experiences, underscoring how players continue to shape their gaming worlds even before or alongside official localization efforts.
All these developments come as fans look for broader accessibility options and smoother localizations across major platforms, hoping that future releases will include robust language support from day one.
