We have resolved the issue where text was incorrectly presented when playing in Japanese. Afterlife and the Ashes of Vados DLC are now fully playable in Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese without the formatting errors.

We appreciate your patience as we worked to fix this issue and hope you enjoy!

We are aware of the issues players are running into when playing the game in the newly added Asian languages, specifically Japanese, where the wrong lines are displayed at key moments. We're currently working to resolve this issue as soon as possible, and are very sorry for the inconvenience. We will make ensure that all console versions of Afterlife will not have these same translation issues going forward. In the meantime, the CERO version of Death's Gambit: Afterlife recently released on Nintendo Switch does not have this same localization bug when playing in Japanese.
