ArcheAge Chronicles Adds Provisional Japanese Support Before November 4 Early Access

XLGAMES will add provisional Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese support to ArcheAge Chronicles when early access opens on November 4 at 8 a.m. Japan time. Both languages are machine translated and may read inaccurately or unnaturally, with improvements planned.

Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.

Why it matters

Machine-translated Japanese patched in the day before launch puts an imperfect build in front of Japanese players at the same 3,600 yen buy-to-play price, and XLGAMES says improvements are still to come.

ArcheAge Chronicles Adds Provisional Japanese Support Before November 4 Early Access

The game was originally set to launch in English, Korean, and Chinese only, and the addition follows feedback from the earlier demo. Language can be changed under Options, then General, then Language.

ArcheAge Chronicles is buy-to-play at 3,600 yen and runs on PC via Steam, with PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Epic Games Store releases planned later. Early access opens on November 4 at 8 a.m. Japan time. The Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese options were added outside the original English, Korean, and Chinese lineup, and XLGAMES describes them as provisional machine translation rather than official support. A November 2 notice also warned that a character's server is locked once created during early access, and that players on different servers cannot play together. Server transfers may come later, but not during early access.
