The Ukrainian Language is Coming to Cyberpunk 2077
We are happy to announce that with the release of Phantom Liberty, we’re adding Ukrainian text localization to Cyberpunk 2077. Starting from September 26th, 2023, it will be available for both the base game and the expansion.
Localization Project Manager Mariia Strilchuk, who supervised the creation of Ukrainian text for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty, shared her thoughts on the news:
“I’m incredibly happy that Ukrainian gamers will soon be able to immerse themselves in the world of Cyberpunk in our native language. We at CD PROJEKT RED wanted to show our recognition of and support for this part of our community, and I’m personally filled with pride and joy knowing that I was able to help make it a reality. I can’t wait to share the results of our work with you this September.”
Senior Localization Project Manager Alexander Radkevich, who has overseen the production of Ukrainian localization, provided some behind-the-scenes details:
"Bringing Ukrainian localization to Cyberpunk 2077 was an interesting challenge for us as a Localization team. It's always intriguing to add new languages to an already existing game, especially to such a massive project like Cyberpunk 2077. We also worked on the base game and the expansion at the same time, which added a layer of complexity.
It took us over a year to translate and adapt way more than a million words of dialogues, in-game texts, and interfaces, followed by extensive testing to ensure the best experience for our Ukrainian-speaking players. I sincerely hope that our Ukrainian community will enjoy every minute of it.”
