NetEase Unveils Sea of Remnants: A Swashbuckling Multiplatform Adventure

NetEase, once criticized for prioritizing profits over player enjoyment, has experienced a significant shift in public perception thanks to the success of recent titles like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they've set their sights on the high seas with their latest teased release, Sea of Remnants, which promises a unique blend of musical elements and pirate theming.

While details about Sea of Remnants remain scarce, the teaser hints at a whimsical, toylike aesthetic and an adventurous, Errol Flynn-inspired swashbuckling experience. Whether the game will adopt a turn-based format, embrace an open-world structure, or introduce something entirely new is yet to be revealed. However, the teaser's vibrant visuals and intriguing settings suggest a rich world waiting to be explored by the game's action figure-like characters.

Beyond the Horizon

Given NetEase's recent ambitious projects, Sea of Remnants could be their attempt to capture the magic of Rare's Sea of Thieves. The open-world pirate RPG genre has been dominated by Sea of Thieves, and despite competitors like Skull & Bones, no one has managed to surpass it. If anyone can take an established concept and enhance it, it's NetEase, as demonstrated by their success in rivaling Overwatch with Marvel Rivals.

Yet, the RPG market is saturated with excellent games. NetEase will need to stand out in a crowded field. For a glimpse of the competition, explore our list of the top 25 best RPGs on Android and iOS, which showcases just a fraction of the incredible titles available.
