Neverness to Everness: How to Change Voiceover Language – Audio Settings

You want to hear Neverness to Everness in Japanese, Korean, or Chinese instead of English, but the voice setting is not where most people look first. It lives inside the game, not in a launcher or platform menu, and three of the four dubs need a download before they will play. Here is the exact path and what to expect.

The short version

• Change the dub from inside the running game: ESC → Settings (the cogwheel) → the Account tab (the last tab) → Voice.
• Four dubs exist: English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. That is the full list.
• English is preloaded. Japanese, Korean, and Chinese trigger a separate voice-pack download first.
• Pack sizes are large: roughly 882 MB (Japanese), 892 MB (Chinese), and 969 MB (Korean).
• Voice and Language are different settings. Voice is spoken dialogue; Language is text and subtitles.

Where the voiceover setting is

Knowing where not to look saves the most time. The setting is not in a launcher, a store page, or any platform-level menu. You change the dub from inside the live game. Launch Neverness to Everness first, then open the settings.

On PC, press ESC to bring up the pause menu, then open Settings with the cogwheel icon. Move to the Account tab — it is the last tab in the settings panel — and you will find the Voice selector there. That is the whole route.

• PC route: ESC → Settings (cogwheel) → Account tab (last tab) → Voice
• Do not confuse it with: the separate Language option, which controls menus, subtitles, and text — not the spoken dub

How to change the dub, step by step

Once you are on the Account tab, the switch is quick. Highlight Voice, pick the language you want, and confirm if the game asks. On a build where the pack is already installed, that is all it takes.

The dub options are English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. If you see only those four, nothing is missing — that is the complete set the current client ships. No additional dubs have been added in later patches.

The change is not always instant, and that catches people out. English is preloaded, so it applies right away. Japanese, Korean, and Chinese first prompt a voice-pack download. Accept the download, let it finish, then the new dub takes over. On some builds you reselect the language once the files land; on others it applies as soon as the pack is ready.

• English: preloaded — applies immediately
• Japanese, Korean, Chinese: require a voice-pack download first
• If nothing changes right away: finish the download, then reselect the voice in Settings

Voice and Language are two separate settings

This is the single biggest source of confusion. Voice changes spoken dialogue. Language changes UI text, menu labels, and subtitles. They are independent, and you can mix them.

Want Japanese voices with English subtitles? Set Voice = Japanese and Language = English. Want everything matched? Set both to the same language. If you changed only one and the result feels off, that is why. Switching text is light and fast because it is just a localization toggle; switching voice can pull close to a gigabyte of audio, so treat it like a content download, not a subtitle flip.

How big the voice packs are

When the game prompts a download, expect a hefty file. The non-English packs are roughly 882 MB for Japanese, 892 MB for Chinese, and 969 MB for Korean. These are not subtitle-sized toggles.

Two consequences follow. First, on a slower connection the switch will not happen immediately — you are waiting on a near-1 GB transfer. Second, clear enough free storage before you start. If a download stalls, check available space before assuming the menu is broken. You can keep playing while the pack downloads, but the new dub stays unavailable until the bar finishes, so re-test the change after it completes rather than mid-install.

If the new dub will not apply

If you picked a new language and still hear the old one, work through these in order before hunting for hidden settings.

• Confirm the download finished. If you selected Japanese, Korean, or Chinese and backed out fast, the pack may still be installing in the background.
• Reselect the voice. After the download completes, return to the Voice setting on the Account tab and pick the target language again — some builds need a second confirmation.
• Check you changed the right setting. If you changed Language instead of Voice, your subtitles switched but the spoken dialogue did not.
• Test on a fresh voiced line. Dialogue already in progress will not update mid-line, so trigger the next voiced scene or interaction.
• Restart the game. If the pack is installed but the dub still will not switch, relaunch — some versions only apply the change after a reload.

Common mistakes that waste the most time

• Trying to change the dub from an external launcher instead of the in-game settings
• Changing Language and expecting the spoken dialogue to change with it
• Assuming the feature is broken when the required voice pack is still downloading
• Looking past the Account tab — it is the last tab, and that is where Voice lives
• Starting a download with almost no free storage when the non-English packs run close to 1 GB

Practical takeaway

Open Neverness to Everness, press ESC, go to Settings → Account tab → Voice, and pick English, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese. English plays instantly; the other three download first (882–969 MB), so leave storage free and re-test after the download finishes. Keep Voice and Language straight — one is the dub, the other is your text — and relaunch if a new pack installs but will not switch.
