#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! ♥

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.

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.

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!

What if there was a video that brings together @grantkirkhope.bsky.social & George Andreas' era-defining DK Rap from #DonkeyKong 64, and the dulcet sounds of the Welsh language?

Finally, it's here for you -
The Welsh translation of the DK Crew!

I always knew when I started making videos that I'd get comments eventually "correcting" my pronunciations of Welsh words :P

People often forget that Wales has different accents and dialects up and down the country, let alone the north/south differences.

Some beautiful stuff here from @jontofski.bsky.social. I adore those Dwynwen and Blodeuwedd prints!
Just had the link to these fabulous prints of various characters from Welsh myth shared with me, and I love them!
I imagine it's a little late to order prints for Christmas, but maybe if you're looking for a late present for a fan of Welsh mythology...?
