Former NetEase Studio Resurrected as Independent Production Company

In a surprising turn of events, one of the studios previously shut down by NetEase earlier this year has risen from the ashes as an independent production company. The original boss of the studio, however, is nowhere to be seen.

A small group of veteran directors and founders have acquired the name of the studio to carry on the team’s spirit and vision. They are relaunching the studio with a refined development model and a new funding approach.

This news comes amidst a series of closures of Western studios by NetEase, including the shutdown of a studio founded just two years ago. The gaming industry has been abuzz with speculation about the future of NetEase’s non-Chinese studios.

It is heartening to see a studio being resurrected by a dedicated group of industry professionals. The new independent production company is led by Zachary Beaudoin, who has taken on the role of CEO and executive producer.

As the gaming community eagerly awaits the projects that will come out of this resurrected studio, one thing is certain – the spirit of creativity and innovation lives on.
