NetEase Western Studios Facing Closure After Two Years

NetEase, a prominent player in the video game industry, is facing challenges with its Western studios. Just recently, it was announced that another studio under the NetEase umbrella is shutting down after only two years of operation.

This news comes shortly after the closure of Fantastic Pixel Castle and Bad Brain Game Studios, both of which were also part of NetEase’s portfolio. The closures have been attributed to financial difficulties and the loss of funding from NetEase.

Many in the gaming community are expressing their disappointment at the closures, as these studios had shown promise with their innovative games and talented teams. The sudden shutdowns have left employees without jobs and fans without the prospect of new releases from these studios.

NetEase has not yet released an official statement regarding the closures, but industry insiders speculate that the company is reevaluating its Western operations in light of these recent setbacks. It remains to be seen how NetEase will navigate this challenging period and whether any further closures are on the horizon.
