First and foremost, we desire to deeply repent to every Korean gamer who could non savor Wild Hunt in their native tongue on launch mean solar day. Before I explicate the situation, please rest assured — Korean will be added to the game via an update in less than two days, on May 21st.

To go right to the bespeak, the delay in introducing Korean language back up was caused by technical difficulties nosotros could non foresee. When we discovered them, we had a decision to make: we could either release a game that would not live up to our (and your) standards, or practice additional tests and release a production that would satisfy the Korean Witcher community. Since we've put in a lot of effort for this localization to be of top quality, we decided to choose the second option.

However, and I wish to emphasize this, the delay is our fault."

"Why is there no Korean? I've been scammed. It said Korean is supported merely it's not there."

"Why did you fuck us up by grouping together Korean and Japanese linguistic communication pack so we tin can't fifty-fifty play when information technology is released? Do you know?
