Shortly after the German release in April 2008, the team announced a reworked edition. The goal was more than a translation: the English version was to be fully voiced. The Director's Cut was released in 2015 with English and French versions, Seth Paul as the English voice of Zak, Pete Donaldson as Jerry Brockhaus and many fixes and improvements.
