- Mandarin Voice Casting Update - 4 February 2026
Hey Yappers! We have heard some feedback for Mandarin voice casting and have been some of the changes you've suggested! We have made some spells easier and shorter to cast. We know it can be quite frustrating sometimes. Here are a few examples: "灵-魂-吸-取" becomes "魂-吸""暴-风-撕-裂" becomes "龙-卷-风"We're constantly trying to make our Mandarin voice casting the best as possible. Since we do not have anyone in the development team fluent in Mandarin, we're really grateful for all of our Chinese players to help us!Please share us some feedback in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3834090/discussions/0/764058062403200296/
