NetEase Unveils Sea of Remnants: A Swashbuckling Multiplatform Adventure

NetEase, once a company criticized for prioritizing profit over player enjoyment, has significantly improved its public image, thanks to successful titles like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they've set their sights on a new horizon with the teaser for their upcoming game, Sea of Remnants. This game promises a nautical adventure with a unique twist, featuring a toylike aesthetic and a swashbuckling vibe reminiscent of Errol Flynn's adventures.

While details are scarce, the teaser showcases a vibrant, colorful world filled with intriguing locations for players to explore with their action figure-like characters. Whether Sea of Remnants will be turn-based, open-world, or something entirely new remains to be seen. However, the teaser suggests a lavish and engaging environment that could captivate players.

Beyond the Horizon

Given NetEase's recent ambitious projects and the title's name, it's speculated that Sea of Remnants might aim to rival the success of Sea of Thieves. The open-world pirate RPG genre has been dominated by Rare's Sea of Thieves, with other attempts like Skull & Bones failing to make a significant impact. Yet, if any company could challenge this niche, it's NetEase, who successfully dethroned Overwatch with Marvel Rivals.

Entering the RPG market, NetEase will face stiff competition. The mobile gaming landscape is brimming with exceptional RPGs, as evidenced by our list of the top 25 best RPGs on Android and iOS. Despite this, NetEase's track record suggests they could bring something fresh and exciting to the table with Sea of Remnants.
