To continue our growth and survival, while also funding other studios and becoming an international publisher, we need greater investment to continue building our technology and infrastructure to deliver even more impressive next-generation games , expand our team and develop multiple projects simultaneously.
We partnered with NetEase 4 years ago and invited NetEase to join us as a minority shareholder in January 2019. During this time, we deepened our understanding of each other. We started collaborating on small and large projects, we enjoyed working together and had a lot of discussions about our industry and our vision for the future. We found that we shared a desire to create impressively bold, high-quality pieces.
To continue to grow and dream big, as we embark on “our next 25 years”, we are pleased to announce that we will be joining NeEase Games, who will become a 100% shareholder in Quantic Dream.
We will remain independent in the editorial line, art direction of the project and studio management. Our teams are fully involved in this operation and benefit directly financially, they are of course fully protected and will continue to grow. NetEase Games is committed to supporting the innovation and development of global video games, and it is within this framework that Quantic Dream continues to grow. We will continue to operate independently, maintain the ability to create and self-publish video games on all platforms, and continue to support and publish games developed by third parties.
Quantic Dream is known for its movie-like adventure games (Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls,Detroit: Become Human), and is currently developing Star Wars: Eclipse. The studio also released Parallel Studio’s narrative adventure game Under The Waves.
