CD Projekt Red has launched yet another Night City Wire episode with plenty of news, footage, and gameplay elements to dissect.

This time, the episode focuses on the voices of Night City, but we do get brief glimpses of added knife combat, the more adult uses of Brain Dancing, and the aftermath of some outright gang warfare.

By hiring more actors and the game featuring substantially more characters, Cyberpunk 2077 will have more dialogue than The Witcher 3 and all of its expansions.

While fans were recently disappointed in the news that Cyberpunk 2077 would be slightly short than The Witcher 3, CD Projekt Red looks to be cramming those hours with plenty of content.

In regards to how the voices in the game will sound, Senior Localization Project Manager Alecxander Radkevich discusses the challenge of using so many different actors. Radkevich explains that the main goal was to make it feel as though the game was being played in its original language, no matter what that may be.

The game has been adapted to over 18 different languages, with ten of those getting full localisation and the remainder only translated through text. As an example of just how much effort has gone into the localisation, Radkevich explains that when Jackie tells a joke in English, that will be an entirely different joke in the Polish version to make sure the puns still work.
