NetEase, once viewed with skepticism for prioritizing profit over fun, has undergone a significant transformation in public perception, largely thanks to the success of games like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. The company is now teasing its latest project, Sea of Remnants, which promises a unique blend of pirate-themed adventure and a musical twist. While details are scarce, the excitement is palpable.
Sea of Remnants appears to embrace a playful, toy-like aesthetic, set against the backdrop of the open sea, reminiscent of swashbuckling adventures à la Errol Flynn. The teaser trailer showcases a vibrant, colorful world filled with intriguing locations, ready for exploration by quirky action figure characters. However, key elements such as whether the game will be turn-based, open-world, or something entirely different remain shrouded in mystery.

Given NetEase's recent ambitious ventures, Sea of Remnants could be their take on the successful formula of Sea of Thieves, an open-world pirate RPG that has captivated players and left competitors like Skull & Bones struggling to keep up. NetEase has proven its capability to reinvent popular genres, as seen with their successful challenge to Overwatch with Marvel Rivals.
