Swedish Embark Studios, known for the online shooter The Finals, has updated the list of localizations for its next project ARC Raiders. Ukrainian has disappeared from the list of available languages, and instead, Russian localization will appear in the game.
In the summer of 2025, it became known that the third-person multiplayer shooter in the extraction genre ARC Raiders would have Ukrainian localization at release. Ukrainian was among the languages available on the game’s page on the Epic Games Store, while Russian was not on the list.
Recently, Embark Studios announced that it plans to hold an open beta test of the project on October 17-19, and Ukrainian players noticed that the game no longer supports domestic localization.
«This was to be expected given the recent news about ARC Raiders, but Embark removed the mention of the Ukrainian language in their game on the gaming platforms, but added Russian. So let’s reactivate the comments under the message about the request to add the Ukrainian language to Steam,» wrote a user with the nickname bohdander on X (Twitter).
The SteamDB service shows that the developers added support for the Russian language on September 15 for describing achievements. On September 22, it appeared among the list of available localizations.
bohdander urged Ukrainian players to leave a request to Embark Studios to add Ukrainian localization in a thread on the Steam forum .
«We have two official localization agencies that can translate ARC Raiders into Ukrainian: SBT Localization (one of their latest projects is Baldur’s Gate 3) and UnlocTeam (they have experience translating online games such as Waframe). We, Ukrainian gamers, will be happy and very grateful for the opportunity to play Arc Raiders in our native language!», he noted.
The release of ARC Raiders is scheduled for October 30. In the Ukrainian region of Steam, the game costs 1675 UAH.
