Quantic Dream, the developer behind games like Detroit: Become Human and Beyond: Two Souls, has reassured fans that they are not in danger despite recent rumors surrounding NetEase’s restructuring.
NetEase Closures Spark Concern
Rumors surfaced that NetEase, a Chinese gaming giant, was shutting down or downsizing some of its studios, leading to speculation about the impact on Quantic Dream. NetEase acquired Quantic Dream in 2022, making it the company’s first European studio.
However, Quantic Dream has officially stated that its operations remain stable and unaffected by NetEase’s recent changes. The studio is actively working on Star Wars Eclipse, a highly anticipated game set in the Star Wars universe.
Quantic Dream’s Official Statement
In response to concerns, Quantic Dream released a statement emphasizing its independence within the NetEase umbrella. The studio clarified that it continues to operate with full creative freedom and is not experiencing financial difficulties.
“We want to reassure our community that QD remains strong and committed to delivering groundbreaking interactive experiences,” the studio stated.
What This Means for Fans
For fans of narrative-driven games, this confirmation brings relief. QD has a history of producing immersive storytelling experiences, and their ongoing work on Star Wars Eclipse suggests that development is proceeding as planned.
While NetEase’s restructuring may impact other divisions, QD’s reassurance indicates that their future projects remain on track.
Final Thoughts
The gaming industry is constantly evolving, and acquisitions often lead to speculation. However, Quantic Dream’s transparency helps dispel worries about their stability. As long as their creative vision remains intact, fans can look forward to more innovative games from the studio.
