NetEase, once criticized for prioritizing profit over fun, has seen a significant shift in public perception, thanks to successful releases like Marvel Rivals and Once Human. Now, they're stirring excitement with a teaser for their latest project, Sea of Remnants, which promises a nautical adventure with a unique twist.

Whether it will be turn-based, open-world, or something entirely different remains to be seen, but the trailer showcases a colorful world filled with intriguing locations for action figure-like characters to explore.
