NetEase Unveils Sea of Remnants: A Swashbuckling Multiplatform Adventure

NetEase, once criticized for prioritizing profits over fun, has experienced a significant shift in public perception thanks to the success of recent titles like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. The company has now piqued interest with a teaser for their latest project, Sea of Remnants, which hints at a nautical adventure with a unique twist.

While details about Sea of Remnants remain scarce, the teaser suggests a vibrant, toy-like aesthetic set against the backdrop of open seas and pirate-themed swashbuckling. The exact gameplay style—whether turn-based, open-world, or something entirely new—remains a mystery. However, the trailer showcases a rich, colorful world filled with fascinating locations for your action figure-like characters to explore.

Beyond the Horizon

Given NetEase's recent ambitious ventures, Sea of Remnants might be their attempt to challenge the success of Sea of Thieves. An open-world pirate RPG has proven lucrative for Rare, and despite competitors like Skull & Bones, no one has yet surpassed them. NetEase, having previously dethroned Overwatch with Marvel Rivals, could potentially bring a fresh and more engaging take to this genre.
