Veilguard Language

Good afternoon! Player from a non-English speaking territory here, I would like to ask a question regarding the game's language options.

Back when Inquisition launched, I bought the game digitally and installed it on my computer, and discovered that while the spoken language of the game was English, all of the subtitles and text were in my local language, specifically Portuguese, and that this could not be altered in any way (something that is true to this day; I can go into the options menu right now, find the text language option, and the only language displayed there is my local language), despite the files for the other languages still being present in my computer, in the installation files. I asked about this to support at the time and was told that this was not changeable in any way, and the only way to get the game with English text would be to buy a physical copy of the game from an US or UK retailer, leading my problem to remain unsolved.

My question is: will the digital version of Veilguard allow me to change the text and subtitle language to any of my choosing? I would much prefer playing through the game with English voice and text than in my local language, and being unable to do so could be a dealbreaker for me.

  • Yes, it lists twelve languages the game will be available in; but so did the store page for Inquisition back then, when it was still the Origin app, and this did not impede the digital version from only giving me Portuguese text. Hence why I felt the need to ask here.

    Back then, when I asked about this to support, the answer I got is that while the game is available in all of those languages, the text language would default to that of my system's location, regardless of the app's own language option or anything else, and I was still unable to alter the game's text language in any way.

  • Oh! I hadn't noticed, sorry. First time I'm using this forum, I'm still getting used to it. Thank you for tagging them!

    @OdysseusOfGaming I reached out to the team on it. The issue here is that if it isn't public we cannot confirm anything as we could be wrong. We don't want to provide incorrect info so if it isn't listed on the main page, or launcher pages, it hasn't yet been clarified.

  • I see. That's understandable.

    Is there any other possible way I could find this information? I've been playing this series since Origins first came out and would very much like to see how the story ends on launch, but I really don't want to have to go through another game in Portuguese. The information regarding the available languages is already on the store page, all I'd like to know is if I'll be able to choose the text language of my preference. It's all that's kept me from pre-ordering the game so far.

    @OdysseusOfGaming At the moment no because it hasn't been listed officially by the studio team. I asked on it and they said that info has not been published yet, so we have to wait until they list it.
