We are talking about a minority package.
NetEase acquired a minority stake in Quantic Dream, but the details of the transaction are unknown. Both sides did not disclose how many shares were bought and for what amount.
As a result of the deal, the authors of Detroit: Become Human will retain their independence. There are no permutations in the leadership of Quantic Dream, writes Gamesindustry.biz .
The sale of shares to the giant NetEase “opens up new opportunities for the studio,” according to its executive director Guillaume de Fondaumiere. One of these opportunities is the creation of a new generation of multiplatform games.
Serious changes are waiting for the gaming industry in the coming years: new technologies, new business models and new ways to play will appear. We want Quantic Dream to have a key role in this exciting future.
