The Japanese playerbase of EVE Online has reason to celebrate today as the localization of the game to Japanese has officially gone live. CCP Games touted the release as “a successful cooperation between CCP, the Japanese EVE-playing community, and [its] experienced partners” and promised further refinements and improvements to localization for all of the languages the game supports.
In celebration of the localization’s release, there will be a sakura-inspired fireworks display that will be livestreamed throughout the day as well as another livestream at 6:30 a.m. EST on December 12th between leaders of the Japanese EVE community. The game’s store is also celebrating the release with a number of Zakura Starter Packs that include unique skins, character outfits, and other starting boosts, while those who just want to dress up their ships in the pretty new outfit can purchase the Zakura Shumyu SKINs individually or in bundles of their own.
