Cyberpunk 2077 mods make Night City more multilingual

Night City is the central setting of the Cyberpunk universe, and since its first inception in the tabletop RPG game, it’s been portrayed as a cosmopolitan melting pot of countless different cultures. One modder has set out to capture more of that spirit in a series of Cyberpunk 2077 mods that add native language options for many of the RPG game’s characters and gangs.

Cyberpunk 2077 modder Nicottn has been creating a series of ‘Cosmopolitan Night City’ mods that add native languages for various characters. There are mods for Spanish-speaking characters like Jackie Welles and Judy Alvarez, French for Voodoo Boys gang leader Maman Brigitte and her top lieutenant Placide, and Polish for Misty Olszewski, Jackie’s girlfriend who becomes V’s caretaker early on in the story.

Nicottn says the idea is to make Night City feel more immersive, and it’s a great addition to the game – visiting any major city in the present day involves hearing a chorus of different languages as you walk from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

For now, you may want to enable subtitles in your language of choice (that is, if you aren’t already fluent in the languages the mods
