Japan Copies of Age of Calamity Are Language Locked

Region Locked Settings

If you'd prefer hearing the Japanese dub while reading in-game text in English, be sure to grab a copy from North American retailers instead of the Japanese ones. Unforunately copies of the game purchased from the Japanese eShop (as well as physical copies bought in Japan) will not allow you to switch to English or other languages. However, North American versions of the game will allow you to switch to Japanese, and the aforementioned languaes, for both text and voice.

While the reason is unclear, our guess is that the game is published by different companies for each region (Nintendo for North America and Koei Tecmo for Japan), which might cause problems for using the English dub in Japan. This was also true in the Japanese release of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, where Japan-purchased copies only gave the option to switch between three languages (Japanese, Chinese, and Korean)
