Marketing Localization Support
Starting March 1, we will focus our marketing localization efforts for the Throne and Liberty website, campaigns, and marketing materials on English, Japanese, and German. This means marketing content in French, Brazilian Portuguese, and LATAM Spanish will no longer be localized going forward. This does not affect in-game localization. All currently supported in-game languages will continue to receive full localization for game updates, patches, and in-game content.Customer support will also remain available in all currently supported languages. We understand this may be disappointing for some of our community and appreciate your patience.

Dev Note: As we continue improving the Tower of Greed experience, we're adjusting its rewards to better support newer players and reduce the pressure to complete this content.
