The catch is that players need to manually change text and audio preferences in the client, and select which package they want to download, since it will take up a significant amount of space on their PC. Many players prefer English text with Japanese audio, similar to how they watch anime. Other PC games like HoYoverse’s RPG Genshin Impact give players the option to select preferred languages for text and audio. “One thing I do know for sure is that we will allow the text to change, and if we’re able to do more than that, we certainly will try,” he added. He explained that audio files are large, and will likely have an impact on PC storage. “I can’t say yes or not yet because one of the major things that have made it difficult for us to do it in the past is the size of language files,” said Riot Brightmoon. However, it will not change the in-game voiceover, at least for the time being. Riot Brightmoon confirmed that the option to change language in the League of Legends client is in the works, and expected to ship sometime in 2023.
Now that the region is united under one Riot Games banner, the option to choose language is a real and practical concern. This was a necessary move because countries in Southeast Asia are diverse. Under Garena, each country had its own Garena app and separate League of Legends client with localized content. Players in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, who were served by Garena since 2010, officially joined the Riot Games family on January 6 when the game developers (finally) took back publishing rights in the region.

South Korea, for example, has a fully localized Korean client, just like how players in China utilize the Mandarin client. Following Riot Games’ expansion around the globe, new language clients were made to cater to regional markets.
The original League of Legends client, first launched in English, debuted in 2009.
