Hello Fatshark team and fellow players,
I’m a Korean player of Warhammer: Vermintide 2, and I’d like to respectfully suggest reconsidering the possibility of allowing an existing Korean localization mod to be used in the Official Realm.
Currently, Vermintide 2 does not support the Korean language. To address this, a community member created a Korean localization mod several years ago( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=koreana&id=2430437198 ). This mod works well, but it can only be used in the Modded Realm. As many players know, the Modded Realm does not allow normal progression, which prevents players from enjoying most of the game’s content in a continuous and meaningful way.
Recently, Vermintide 2 was made available for free, and as a result, the Korean player base has grown noticeably(By the way, I paid for it!). However, the lack of Korean language support remains a major barrier for both new and existing players. If a well-tested Korean localization could be used in the Official Realm, we believe it would significantly improve accessibility and help bring more long-term players into the community.
I’m aware that in 2023 a Korean player asked a similar question and received the following response from the team( Please Korean translation mod approved - #3 by mejiro ).
“After review and many discussions this mod is unable to be sanctioned due to the factor of outstanding work the mod would require, and complications with both company and license policies.”
We fully understand and respect this decision. However, some circumstances have changed since then. The Korean localization mod is now nearly five years old and has been used and verified by over 200 players. Over time, it has proven to be stable, consistent, and reliable, with no major issues reported by the community.
Because of this, I would like to kindly ask whether it might be possible to re-evaluate this mod under the current conditions. Even limited or conditional approval—such as sanctioning it specifically for localization purposes—could greatly enhance the experience for Korean players without affecting gameplay balance.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post and for your continued support of Vermintide 2. We truly appreciate all the work you do and hope this suggestion can be considered.
Thank you.
