NetEase continues to downsize. This time, it has decided to disband Bad Brain Game Studios, a Canadian studio led by former Watch Dogs: Legion lead producer Sean Crooks.

In the fall of 2023, NetEase launched the studio Fantastic Pixel Castle, appointing veteran Riot Games producer Greg Street to lead it. After two years, the company decided to terminate this relationship.

In the summer of 2023, a group of former developers from Fallout 76, Doom, and Star Wars: The Old Republic launched a new studio under the wing of NetEase, called T-Minus Zero Entertainment. Two years later, they faced difficulties.

In its recent financial report, NetEase revealed how many people have played Marvel Rivals. According to the company, the superhero action game’s audience has already surpassed 40 million people worldwide.

Rumors have been circulating for some time that the Chinese company NetEase has decided to stop investing in overseas teams. The layoff of Marvel Rivals developers in the USA has only fueled them. However, NetEase itself denies such intentions.

The Marvel Rivals team has lost several developers. The Chinese giant NetEase conducted layoffs at the Seattle studio, reducing the staff to none who were involved with the game.

The action RPG Where Winds Meet is currently officially available only in China, yet it has already become a hit. Everstone Studio and publisher NetEase announced that over 10 million people have experienced the game.

Recently in China, Where Winds Meet—a role-playing game from Everstone Studio and NetEase—was released for PC and smartphones. The game’s setting takes place during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. At least on mobile devices, the new release has shown excellent initial results.

Since the release of NetEase’s free-to-play superhero action game Marvel Rivals, a little over a month has passed: the game debuted on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on December 6, 2024. The Chinese portal GameLook, based on their data, attempted to calculate the game’s initial revenue.

The Marvel Rivals audience is rapidly growing. NetEase announced that 20 million people worldwide have tried the team-based action game in less than two weeks.
