NetEase Unveils Sea of Remnants: A Swashbuckling Multiplatform Adventure

NetEase, once viewed unfavorably for prioritizing profit over fun, particularly in China, has experienced a significant shift in public perception thanks to the success of recent hits like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they're stirring excitement with a new teaser for their upcoming game, Sea of Remnants, which promises a nautical adventure with a unique twist.

Details about Sea of Remnants are still sparse, but what we do know is intriguing. The game boasts a toylike aesthetic and is set against the backdrop of the open sea, embracing a swashbuckling theme reminiscent of Errol Flynn's adventures. Whether it will feature turn-based mechanics, an open world, or something entirely new remains to be seen. However, the teaser trailer showcases a vibrant and colorful world filled with fascinating locations for players to explore with their quirky action figure characters.

Beyond the Horizon

Given NetEase's recent ambitious projects and the title's name, Sea of Remnants could be their take on an open-world pirate RPG, potentially aiming to rival the success of Rare's Sea of Thieves. Despite competition from games like Skull & Bones, NetEase's track record suggests they could bring something innovative and visually stunning to the table. After all, they managed to challenge Overwatch's dominance with Marvel Rivals, proving that they can excel in established genres.
