Witchfire shooter from Painkiller creators to be translated into Russian

The developers have decided to expand the list of supported languages.

The creators of the Witchfire shooter have published a new diary dedicated to the project's development. The Astronauts studio shared their plans and announced an expansion of the list of supported languages.

The game will receive an official translation into Russian. However, the release date for the update has not yet been announced; it is expected "soon."

The developers emphasize that they involved professionals and worked with world-class localization specialists, but they do not rule out that errors may occur at the start:

[…] they are still human – or, rather, in the age of AI, it would be better to say – fortunately, human. Errors are possible, and although, of course, quality control of localization is part of the process, the more people review the translations, the better the final result will be. Especially if those people are the players themselves.

The authors of Witchfire talked about World Corruption 2.0 – they will refine the world's reaction to the player's actions:

In the previous version, you had almost no choice – you were an infection, and the world tried to get rid of you, where corruption acted as a kind of "fever." Now it's more a matter of choice: the less stealthily you act, the less noticeable the corruption becomes. As your presence becomes more prominent, the world begins to react. Unnatural events and out-of-place objects appear, making excursions increasingly difficult.
