How will we change the voice language?
In the battle.net app, there's 'text language' and 'spoken language'.
These options aren't in the game.

There's only 1 option in the steam properties to change the language and i'm just gonna assume that would change both text and voice language.

Right click Overwatch2 in your library, select properties, and under launch options type
"--tank_Locale EnGB" without the quotations of course.

Yeah I played with JP audio and English text. I am currently looking for a workaround but I can't seem to find one. Maybe a launch option can make it use english text?

Oh yes I was actually asking that.
I need english audio + french interface, but steam online let us choose one language for both.

What a shame.

Happy I could help! I've played with JP audio since 2016, so the thought of switching to English wasn't a nice one.

On a side note, the japanese text (even the english of japanese) is amazingly stylised. Too bad there's no way to use that in game in place of english text

Yeah I noticed it was a pretty nice font. Alas, as long as the voices are Japanese, I am satisfied. xD
