Risk of Rain 2 is a great game that deserves to be played by game fans the world over. Good news, then: The folks at Hopoo Games have just released Early Access patch #3930265, which adds 10 languages from across the globe in what the team is calling "full localization support."

According to an announcement post made over on the Risk of Rain 2 Steam news page, the following languages are now supported as of build ID #3930265:

• Simplified Chinese
• French
• German
• Italian
• Japanese
• Korean
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Spanish
• Turkish

Any of these languages can be selected at-will. To change the localization option, right click on Risk of Rain 2 in the Steam Library, then click Properties. In the resulting dialog box, find the Languages tab, then use the drop-down menu to choose the preferred language.

The latest patch does have a few other fixes and changes, notably including a new 60 fps cap that is enabled by default in order to "help with certain GPUs." This new option can be changed in the in-game settings menu. Here are the rest of the latest patch notes:
