[UPDATE]

The editor of the fan translation has clarified that they have passed along all the work they had completed to another translation group for them to continue.

[ORIGINAL STORY]

Fans that were waiting for Team If’s fan translation of Fire Emblem: Fates to be released are in for some bad news, as the team had recently announced that they will be ceasing all future development on the project.

The reason stated was simply that the team was burnt out and did not care to continue it. Any work that they have completed will be retained by the group.

The project originally started before the game was brought over in the west as a means for fans to play an English version of the game before it’s official release, but still continued after it launched with renewed interest in the project after the poor reception of the Fire Emblem: Fates localization.

The project is now left in the air, with the hope that another individual or group continue the project where the original team left off.
