NetEase Unveils Sea of Remnants: A Swashbuckling Multiplatform Adventure

NetEase, once a company criticized for prioritizing profit over fun, has experienced a significant shift in public perception, thanks to the success of recent hits like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they've teased their latest project, Sea of Remnants, promising a thrilling nautical adventure that could be their next big release.

While details about Sea of Remnants are scarce, the teaser hints at a vibrant, toylike aesthetic set against the backdrop of the open sea. The game seems poised to embrace a swashbuckling, Errol Flynn-esque vibe, but whether it will be turn-based, open-world, or something entirely different remains a mystery. The teaser showcases a colorful world filled with intriguing locations for players to explore with their unique action figure characters.

Beyond the Horizon

Given NetEase's recent ambitious projects, Sea of Remnants might aim to emulate the success of Rare's Sea of Thieves. An open-world pirate RPG has proven to be a successful niche, and despite competitors like Skull & Bones, Sea of Thieves remains the benchmark. If anyone can take on an established concept and elevate it, it's NetEase, who successfully challenged Overwatch with Marvel Rivals.

In the crowded RPG market, Sea of Remnants will face stiff competition. To see the breadth of what's out there, check out our list of the top 25 best RPGs on Android and iOS, showcasing some of the fantastic releases that just begin to scratch the surface of available games.
