NetEase Launches Sea of Remnants: Multiplatform Pirate Game

• NetEase's newest announced project is Sea of Remnants
• The game showcases a musical score and pirate-themed setting
• While details remain limited, there's plenty of room for speculation

Not long ago, NetEase was widely criticized, particularly in its home market of China. Frequently accused of prioritizing profits over player enjoyment, the company has remarkably shifted public perception, partly due to successful recent titles like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they've released a new nautical teaser for what could become their next major hit: Sea of Remnants.

What exactly is it? We don't have all the details yet. However, we know it features a toy-like visual style, takes place on the open ocean, and leans into classic swashbuckling adventure themes.

Whether the game will be turn-based, open-world, or something entirely different remains unclear. The teaser trailer itself reveals a rich, vibrant aesthetic and numerous intriguing locations for your unique action-figure-style characters to discover.

Considering NetEase's ambitious recent releases and the game's title, it wouldn't be surprising if Sea of Remnants aims to echo Sea of Thieves. The open-world pirate RPG niche has proven highly successful for Rare, and despite competitors like Skull & Bones, no one has surpassed them yet.

If any developer can take an existing concept and refine it with better execution and flair, NetEase might just succeed. After all, they managed to challenge Overwatch's dominance with Marvel Rivals—a feat that once seemed nearly impossible.

That said, the RPG landscape is crowded with outstanding titles, presenting strong competition for NetEase. Need proof? Explore our list of the top 25 RPGs on Android and iOS to discover incredible new games that only hint at what's available.
