Tower of Fantasy Launches on Steam Today: Surprisingly No Chinese Language Support

Recently, Tower of Fantasy, the open-world mobile game co-published by Tencent and Perfect World, officially launched on Steam. To the bafflement of many domestic players, the version lacks support for both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. This design choice has sparked a wave of heated debate within the community.

Regarding this 'bizarre move,' opinions vary. Pragmatic players suggest that the absence of Chinese language support is a strategic buffer to prevent a massive migration of domestic players, while skeptics argue it is merely an attempt to dodge the 'review-bombing' culture common in the Chinese gaming community.

The comments section is electric. Some players are busy mocking the developer's past claims about having 'no plans for overseas distribution,' while others are eagerly waiting for the game's rating page to open, hoping to see a chaotic battleground of reviews. Many are comparing this launch to titles like Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact, eagerly anticipating the 'drama' that ensues whenever a mobile game steps into the Steam ecosystem.
