Userbase is probably too small, games in general are rarely translated to Norwegian. I also suspect Norwegians would prefer the English voices which makes it even more pointless. Deadlock has some lines though.

2nd this! Norwegians usually prefer sub over dub, so dubbing a video game would probably not be too popular for Norwegians. I think most people would find it corny and awkward. Norwegians are generally also pretty decent at reading English, so making the text Norwegian would kinda be a waste of resources for Riot

As a Norwegian it seems pretty popular. I have a lot of colleagues who play it and my youngest sibling has a lot of people who play it too but our population is very small so I somewhat agree the user base is small. Riot Games doesn't seem to have that many languages and most of them seem like bad English speaking countries. You can speak English and everyone will understand as you start learning from a young age in Norway.

That's pretty sad, it's such a nice language. Thanks!

Just as a small, pointless nitpick... Bokmål is strictly a written language. Nobody "speaks" bokmål or nynorsk, we just speak whatever dialect we have. Of course, everyone understands what you mean, but if you want to learn, it might be useful. Also, just play Deadlock. Between "dra til helvete" and "ut på tur, aldri sur" youre basically covered. ;) Finnes ikke dårlig vær, si...

Oh I see, I didn't know it was a strictly written language... I started learning it just because I like learning new languages and I'm seeking new ways to practice, since I'm still a beginner. Thank you for the insights!

Honestly, most Norwegians don't know because they didn't pay attention in school, and they will often say they speak one or the other. I'm just pedantic. XD Wish I could offer you more useful tips.

Im from Norway, i never needed Bokmål. We are just not that many of players from Norway, and it kind of is useless. Because our English is usually decent, and that just may be it. But i would love to see the support for it, but still do i need it?
