We are pleased to announce that Art of War: Red Tides is now available in Spanish and German.

But please accept our apologies, we expect that there would be some language structure and cultural variants which are not 100% accurate. Dev team will keep on optimizing languages localization for future updates.

Russian and Brazilian Portuguese were supported since last update, more and more commanders from Russian and Portuguese speaking countries have joined Red Tides. We have seen many videos cast in different languages on YouTube and live-streamed on Twitch.

As we mentioned earlier, our intention was to break down the language barrier, for now we are happy to see the results turn out well. Please be assured that, dev team will go farther on our way to support as many languages as we can, to reach out more commanders.

In this long journey, we also need helps from community, if you would like to help us with translating or improving an existing translation that you don’t think is quite right, please leave comments below or contact us by email: support@gamesci.com.cn

We hope you enjoy these latest changes to The Art of War: Red Tides. Your advice and feedback are valuable to us, don’t hesitate to share any thoughts on the game with us!

See you on the battlefield,
The Art of War: Red Tides Team

For non-English-speaking commanders, Art of War: Red Tides is now playable in Russian and Brazilian Portuguese.

By the time we read through comments and feedback, we realized that there are still a lot of commanders that were not having fun because of the language barrier! This can be depressing.

One of the ultimate intentions for this game is to break down the language barrier and regional border. To support more languages, hold global server and yet-to-be released feature auto-translation are all the efforts we have made to achieve our original intention.

Even though we have tried very hard, the new supported language localization might not be perfect due to a limited time and cultural differences, but we are continuously working on it. As always, there are more languages coming soon, and more planned for improving language support/translations.

We are seeking help from native speakers all over the world, if you would like to help us with translating or improving an existing translation that you don’t think is quite right, please leave comments or contact us by email:
support@gamesci.com.cn
