NetEase announced the acquisition today (purchase price undisclosed), which follows its investment in Quantic Dream three years ago. The new owners say Quantic Dream will “continue to operate independently, focusing on creating and publishing its video games across all platforms.” Quantic Dream will become NetEase’s first European studio, but has made strides in AAA development recently, having made its name (and fortune) with mobile games. The Chinese company recently backed Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi’s new studio, saw the creation of new developer Jar of Sparks by Xbox pioneer Jerry Hook, and is behind the recently announced open world epic Where Winds Meet. Every IGN Quantic Dream review “Today marks a major milestone for our studio after a quarter of a century of complete independence,” said Quantic Dream founder, CEO and writer-director David Cage. “NetEase Games values our creative freedom and the drive and passion of our uniquely diverse team. Now we will be able to accelerate the vision we share as a team to create landmark titles that touch people on an emotional level. We have very diverse games in the pipeline and I truly believe that the best is yet to come from Quantic Dream. I am particularly proud that our employees, who have been offered a significant share of our capital in recent years, will fully benefit from this acquisition. It’s a testament to our continued commitment to rewarding all those who have made Quantic Dream the successful studio it is today.” Quantic Dream has historically focused on narrative-driven, choice-based adventure games over the years, and is currently working on narrative action-adventure Star Wars Eclipse. It announced that it published ocean exploration game Under the Waves last week. The company has been the subject of allegations of workplace misconduct in recent years, which it has vehemently denied, even taking French newspapers to court.
