French VO missing for months — we need answers

Von_Zalius

Hello @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno

I hope you are doing well and you are all having a cheerfull Thanksgiving.

Like many others, I’m once again asking for information regarding the French voice-over for the most recent updates.

It has now been several months since this issue has affected the French-speaking community. This is especially frustrating given that many of us purchased this year’s pass without knowing that the updates would ship without French dubbing.
On top of that, the problem remained throughout the Writhing Wall event, a limited-time event that will never return — meaning we were unable to experience it in our own language.
This makes the issue both significant and genuinely impactful.

I fully understand that technical or organizational problems can happen — it’s part of the nature of live-service games, and this could have been entirely forgiven.
Unfortunately, what is much harder to overlook is the complete lack of communication on the matter.

At the moment, we have no information at all regarding the scope of the issue:

What are the reasons behind the missing voice-over?

Will the French dubbing for the last two updates be released one day?

Will this problem affect the upcoming updates as well?

Is French voice-over still planned for the future of the game?

How long must we wait before we can hope for a solution — or at least an update?


I have tried multiple times to get answers to these questions, without success.
With next year’s announcements approaching in a few months, I honestly don’t know what to expect for the future of the game. Without any communication, the French community has no way of knowing whether the upcoming DLCs will even include dubbing.

I trust your team, and I know this year has been particularly difficult for the studio. You have my full support and appreciation.
But we truly need some communication on this topic, even if it’s just a brief reply to this post.

Wishing the whole team a great week, and thank you again for a game that I deeply enjoy.

It seems Bethesda’s latest expansion for Fallout 76 is suffering from the same curse. It cannot be a coincidence - it may look like there’s been a deliberate shift to stop including localized voice-overs, possibly as a cost-saving measure ?

We already, as french people, suffer from a server in which we have to speak in english in chat.

So no french VO, like translations missing, is not making the game feels great in 2025.

As a note.
