• Sea of Remnants is the latest project teased by NetEase.
• It showcases a musical interpretation and pirate-themed elements.
• Currently, details are scarce, leaving ample room for speculation.

Not long ago, NetEase was widely viewed unfavorably, particularly in its home country of China. Often criticized for prioritizing profits over player enjoyment, the company has experienced a significant shift in public perception. This change has been partly driven by the success of recent titles like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they have released a fresh nautical teaser for what could become their next major success: Sea of Remnants.

So, what exactly is it? The specifics are still unknown. However, we do know the game will feature a toy-like visual style, take place on the open seas, and embrace a classic swashbuckling adventure atmosphere.

Whether the game will be turn-based, open-world, or something entirely different remains unclear. The teaser trailer, though, reveals a rich, vibrant aesthetic and numerous intriguing locations for your unique action-figure-style characters to discover.

Considering the ambition behind NetEase's recent launches and the title's naming convention, it wouldn't be surprising if Sea of Remnants aims to emulate Sea of Thieves. The open-world pirate RPG niche has been exceptionally successful for Rare, and despite competitors like Skull & Bones, no one has managed to surpass them.

If any company can take an existing concept and execute it with more polish and flair, NetEase might be the one. After all, they achieved this by challenging Overwatch with Marvel Rivals—a feat that once seemed nearly impossible.

That said, the RPG landscape is packed with outstanding titles, meaning NetEase would face intense competition. Need proof? Explore our list of the top 25 best RPGs on Android and iOS to discover incredible new games that only scratch the surface of what's out there.
