Sea of Remnants is NetEase\'s upcoming, swashbuckling new multiplatform release

NetEase, once viewed skeptically by many, especially in its home market of China, for prioritizing profits over fun, has significantly shifted public perception through the success of recent titles like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, the company teases its latest venture, Sea of Remnants, with a nautical theme that promises to captivate gamers with its unique blend of music and pirate adventures.

While details about Sea of Remnants remain scarce, the teaser hints at a toylike aesthetic set against the backdrop of the open sea, evoking the swashbuckling spirit reminiscent of Errol Flynn. Whether the game will adopt a turn-based, open-world, or a completely novel format is still under wraps. However, the teaser trailer showcases a vibrant, colorful world filled with intriguing locales for players to explore with their action figure-like characters.

Beyond the Horizon

Given NetEase's recent track record of ambitious releases, Sea of Remnants could be their take on the successful formula of Sea of Thieves. An open-world pirate RPG has proven to be a lucrative niche, with Rare leading the charge and competitors like Skull & Bones trying, but failing, to take the crown. NetEase, having previously dethroned Overwatch with Marvel Rivals, might just have what it takes to bring a fresh and superior twist to this genre.

The RPG market is crowded with stellar titles, as evidenced by our comprehensive list of the top 25 best RPGs on Android and iOS. Despite this competition, NetEase's knack for innovation and quality could position Sea of Remnants as a standout contender in the gaming world.
