Case Study
Outward: Koch Media
O U T W A R D Developer: Koch Media GmbH Platforms: Windows PC / Xbox One / PlayStation 4 320,000+ words translated 20 languages (in- & out-game localization) One of "the most ambitious role-playing games of the year", action RPG Outward takes the gamer on a 20-30 hour fantasy journey. The players can choose their character to be male or female. This is regularly a challenge for localization into gender-oriented languages. For instance, localizing into Spanish, translators had to make the whole game gender neutral to avoid issues. As a result, the Spanish localization was praised by the local gaming communities.
