Cyberpunk 2077's developer has apologized for dialog and graffiti inserted in the Ukrainian version of the 2.0 update that's critical of Russia's invasion of the country, PC Gamer<\/em><\/a> has reported. CD Projekt Red said it had nothing to do with the changes and promised to remove them.<\/p>\n

"The Ukrainian localization of Cyberpunk 2077 contains several remarks that could offend some Russian players," the studio said in a (Google translated) statement. "These remarks were not written by CD Projekt Red employees and do not represent our views. We are working to fix them and replace them in the next update. We apologize for this situation and are taking steps to ensure it does not happen again."<\/p>\n

As originally reported by Zone of Games<\/em><\/a> (via a Rock Paper Shotgun<\/em><\/a> report) some dialog makes reference to Ukrainian resistance slogans. Elsewhere, graffiti suggests Crimea is still part of Ukraine in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, following Russia's 2014 invasion. Other messages refer to citizen missile detection, COVID initiatives under President Zelensky, derogatory terms for Russians and more.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian localization was reportedly handled by the Ukrainian company SBT Localization, which also worked on Baldur's Gate 3<\/em><\/a>, Darkest Dungeon<\/em> and other titles. The changes were noticed by Russian and Ukrainian players, with multiple complaints registered on Steam and CD Projekt Red forums.<\/p>\n

Russia's invasion of Ukraine, deemed unlawful<\/a> by a majority of nations, has had a deleterious effect on Ukraine's game industry. Developer GSC Game World was forced to halt<\/a> work on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl<\/em> after the aggressions forced it to relocate staff to Prague in order to help employees and their families "survive" the conflict, it said. Earlier this year, Ukraine sent letters to Sony, Microsoft and Valve, urging them to block the title Atomic Heart<\/em> from their gaming platforms over concerns<\/a> about Russian connections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
