Zenimax has also responded to a tweet asking whether it will be on the same client or will it be on a separate one like their Japanese language support, in which they answered; “yes, it will be on the same client”.

Will the language be in the same client or like the japanese one which is separate?

The news has made the community speculate whether Zenimax will run an Asia server sometime in the future. The question has been brought up each year though no comments from Zenimax’s side on the matter.
