NetEase, once a company often criticized for prioritizing profits over player enjoyment, has undergone a significant shift in public perception, thanks in part to the success of recent titles like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they've piqued the interest of gamers worldwide with a new teaser for their upcoming game, Sea of Remnants. This nautical-themed adventure promises a unique blend of musical elements and pirate flair, but details remain scarce, leaving much to the imagination.
So, what exactly is Sea of Remnants? At this point, specifics are still under wraps. However, we do know it will feature a playful, toy-like aesthetic and be set amidst the open seas, embracing a swashbuckling vibe reminiscent of Errol Flynn's adventures. Whether it will be a turn-based game, an open-world exploration, or something entirely new is yet to be revealed. The teaser trailer showcases a vibrant, colorful world filled with intriguing locales for players to navigate using quirky action figure-like characters.
Beyond the Horizon
Given NetEase's recent ambitious projects, speculation suggests that Sea of Remnants might aim to rival the success of Sea of Thieves. The open-world pirate RPG genre has been dominated by Rare's hit, and despite efforts like Skull & Bones, no game has managed to usurp it. If anyone can bring a fresh and more dazzling take to this well-trodden path, it's NetEase, who have already proven their mettle by challenging Overwatch's dominance with Marvel Rivals.
Yet, in the expansive world of RPGs, NetEase will face stiff competition. The mobile gaming landscape is rich with outstanding releases, as evidenced by our list of the top 25 best RPGs on Android and iOS. These titles represent just a fraction of the incredible options available to players, setting a high bar for Sea of Remnants to meet or exceed.
