NetEase's Sea of Remnants Sets Sail on Multiple Platforms

• Sea of Remnants is the latest upcoming title teased by NetEase
• It showcases a musical score and pirate-themed setting
• While details remain scarce, there is plenty of room for speculation

Not long ago, NetEase was viewed unfavorably by many, particularly in its home country of China. Often criticized for prioritizing profits over player enjoyment, the company has experienced a notable shift in public perception, partly driven by recent successes like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they've released a brand-new nautical teaser for what could become their next major hit: Sea of Remnants.

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

That said, whether the game will be turn-based, open-world, or something entirely unique remains uncertain. The teaser trailer itself presents a vibrant, detailed art style and numerous intriguing settings for your stylized action-figure characters to discover.

Considering NetEase's recent ambitious projects and the title’s thematic naming, it wouldn't be surprising if Sea of Remnants aims to rival Sea of Thieves. The open-world pirate RPG niche has been highly successful for Rare, and despite competitors like Skull & Bones, no one has managed to surpass them yet.

Still, if any studio can revitalize an existing concept with improved execution and flair, NetEase might just succeed. After all, they achieved something similar by challenging Overwatch with Marvel Rivals—a feat once considered nearly impossible.

That said, the RPG genre is packed with outstanding titles, meaning NetEase would face steep competition. Need proof? Explore our list of the top 25 RPGs for Android and iOS to discover incredible new games—many of which only scratch the surface of what’s available.
