Contributed English to Traditional Chinese localization for Starfield, working on Bethesda Game Studios' first new universe in over 25 years. Handled localization across in-game text and project materials for a game featuring roughly 250,000 lines of dialogue, ensuring the game's vast NASA-punk sci-fi world, faction terminology, and planet-spanning lore read naturally and consistently for Traditional Chinese-speaking players.
The sheer scale of Starfield's content demanded rigorous glossary management and terminology consistency across an entirely new IP with no prior localization precedent to reference. Worked within the localization pipeline to maintain linguistic QA and project accuracy throughout, handling everything from dialogue strings to UI and world-building content across over 1,000 explorable planets.
Released September 6, 2023 on PC and Xbox Series X/S, Starfield reached 6 million players within its first week, making it the biggest launch in Bethesda's history. The game went on to generate an estimated $657 million in sales, landing it among the top 11 best-selling games of 2023.
