#Welsh video game highlights from 2025!

- @deviserene.bsky.social's Welsh mythology inspired Toward Dawn
- A Llanfair PG name drop in #Helldivers 2
- Welsh speaking characters in #Destiny 2 and She's Leaving
- #Wales stages in Assetto Corsa Rally
- #Cymraeg in Lumo 2 and Into the Restless Ruins
This needs constant reposting. I've been shocked to see voice actors using AI profile pictures.

If you create anything, it should be obvious why you shouldn't use AI. If you're just sharing stupid AI memes, they wouldn't exist without artists first.

If I see one more AI-butchered Welsh Dragon...
Creative solidarity means:

If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover"
If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references"
If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc.

Never help AI steal another medium

No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! Happy New Year!

A huge thank you for the support this year. It's been a pleasure sharing Welsh references in games with you all, and I've enjoyed the opportunity to chat to some brilliant actors and developers. Let's all keep our goals going through this new year!

Iechyd da! ♥

TikTok is a different beast entirely that is clearly not built for the style of videos I create! It’s usually only my sister and niece that guarantee me at least 2 views per vid there haha

Really cool to see the Wales in Games YouTube channel tick over 100k views right at the end of the year - diolch yn fawr iawn!

I’m not sure if we can scrape past 400 subscribers before the year is out, but these little milestones are humbling. It’s been a pleasure making videos for you all!

The wonderful voice of Phil Rowe will also be appearing again next year when Tales from the Mabinogion launches!
He takes the role of Pryderi, as the narrator of the game, returning home to find his kingdom devasted by a cursed magical fog.

I love looking back through the year at these amazing people's roles, but it's so difficult picking and choosing what to cram in - especially with Welsh actors in games increasing each year! But it's a nice "problem" haha.

I think I represented mostly everyone I could find in some capacity! ♥

That's the goal! Fingers crossed us talking about it and raising awareness will get more people taking action, whether in an official or unofficial capacity.

I may just have to explore more to see what other Welsh fan translations are out there...
December 31, 2025 at 2:42 AM
I'd love companies like Nintendo to open the door just a crack to allow fan translations to be shared and freely downloaded worldwide. I know it's unlikely with all the safety requirements involved, but I wonder how much could be done officially between governments and games companies..?

Forgive my lack of Cymraeg to double-down in agreement, but it's this kind of thing that would go such a long way for learners of any language. I almost envy those that learnt English because they played games that way as a kid. I'd give a lot for more Welsh-translated games!
Dwi'n credu, yn hollol ddi-eironi, os fysa Llyw. Cymru yn medru 'neud ryw fath o deal efo Nintendo i gyfieithu hen gemau felma, a'u gwerthu'n rhad, mi fysa lwyth o Gymry Cymraeg, a dysgwyr, yn rhedeg nerth eu gwynt i brynu nhw.
Listen. I, like any Welsh-speaking child in the 90s, learnt basic English the way God intended: by playing Nintendo games on my siblings' GameBoys.

The reversal of this concept is how I reckon the Welsh Government can not just achieve Cymraeg 2050, but smash the target into smithereens.

Look at the embroidery on THAT! What a beautiful draig.
December 30, 2025 at 3:51 PM
Now that's a good looking Welsh Dragon!
December 30, 2025 at 3:49 PM
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy!
December 30, 2025 at 3:47 PM
Diolch for sharing! I'm certain yours will be there next year if the release date goes as planned ;)

The devs have finally added proper heraldry to Manor Lords.
December 30, 2025 at 12:59 PM
It's all you, mate! Diolch for even making my suggestion a reality! It might be a little side hobby, but what you're doing needs to be heard Wales-wide and beyond - and I'm more than happy to share it!

Diolch am y cefnogwr eto! (Dw i dal angen wella fy Nghymraeg!)
December 30, 2025 at 12:42 AM
And so you should be proud! A Welsh inspired game of this capacity made by someone outside of Wales is so rare, but so wonderful to see. We need more like it! Da iawn i chi!

Toward Dawn is still 40% off on Steam right now, too!
