Quantic Dream, the game developers behind titles like Detroit: Become Human<\/em> and Heavy Rain<\/em>, has been acquired by the Chinese technology giant NetEase (via CNBC<\/a>). In a blog post<\/a>, the French game studio announced that it will continue to operate independently despite joining the company.<\/p>\n

While Quantic Dream has just a handful of games under its belt over the 25 years it\u2019s been around, it\u2019s currently working on a new Star Wars: Eclipse<\/em><\/a> action-adventure game that\u2019s set in the High Republic Era. The studio says the acquisition should help it expand its team and \u201cdevelop several projects simultaneously.\u201d<\/p>\n

NetEase is a China-based internet technology company with a growing division dedicated to PC, console, and mobile games. It first became a minority shareholder in Quantic Dream in 2019, shortly after the release of Detroit: Becoming Human<\/em>. Quantic Dream joins a growing list of game companies that NetEase has acquired and marks its first studio located in Europe. <\/p>\n

In January, NetEase backed a new studio<\/a> from the creators of the Yakuza <\/em>series and worked with the design lead on Halo Infinite <\/em>to form Jar of Sparks<\/a>. It also acquired Grasshopper Manufacture<\/a>, the Suda51-owned studio behind Lollipop Chainsaw<\/em> and No More Heroes<\/em>, and also invested in a studio run by Fallout <\/em>veteran<\/a> Jeff Gardiner. In China, the company publishes Blizzard titles, such as Diablo Immortal<\/em> and World of Warcraft<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
