Egypt: Old Kingdom Adds Japanese in 2.1.0 Update
A localization the developer named as a goal in a 2018 interview arrived in a 2.1.0 patch that also migrates the engine to Unity 6, so the Japanese audience gets the game only after its technical base has been replaced.

Clarus Victoria released the 2.1.0 update for the strategy simulator Egypt: Old Kingdom on September 12, adding Japanese language support. The game, set in ancient Egypt from 3500 to 2140 BC, launched in May 2018. In a June 2018 interview, the developer said Japanese was one of the languages it wanted to localize. The update also migrates the engine to Unity 6 and drops Windows 7/8 and macOS versions below 12.
The 2.1.0 patch also moves the game engine to Unity 6, which the developer describes as the first large-scale update for the PC version in eight years. Windows 7 and 8 and macOS versions below 12 are no longer supported as a result. The patch fixes quests and events that could block progress and a bug that rapidly reduced regional population in endless mode.
Japanese text falls back to English where no translation exists. The Steam version supports Japanese, and the game is sold for PC on Steam and GOG.com, and on mobile for iOS, Android, and Amazon.
