Expert Advice: Lessons Learned from Localizing Relic Hunters Zero: Remix

From a game jam in 2015 to a premium title on the Nintendo Switch, Relic Hunters Zero has gone through quite a journey! One of the most impactful changes made to the game over its lifetime has been the efforts to localize the game for its 1.5 million players worldwide. As a game driven to success by that massive, excited community, it only made sense that they would be the ones to take the lead on localizing the title for more than a dozen different languages.

 

However, as Relic Hunters Zero began transitioning to Relic Hunters Zero: Remix, which included bringing the game to the Nintendo Switch, adding new skins, new music, and new weapons, the question became: What role should the community play in localizing the title going further?
