Company Report

NetEase’s R&D Strengths Are Key to Developing Next-Generation Blockbuster Games

NetEase started as a Chinese internet portal in the late 1990s but has now become the second-largest mobile game company in the world. The firm owns one of the most well-known massively multiplayer franchise in China—Fantasy Westward Journey. Over the past decade, NetEase has capitalized on the industry shift toward mobile gaming and now focuses on developing innovative, high-quality, and long-cycle games with a mobile-first approach. Over the past years, the firm has established iconic titles such as Onmyoji, Knives Out, and Identity V. Every year, the company publishes dozens of games across almost every genre and game play. In addition, NetEase is also collaborating with firms such as Blizzard, Marvel, and Microsoft to release games based on famous global intellectual property like Diablo, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. Over the foreseeable future, we expect NetEase to continue to leverage its in-house research and development team and user data to develop next-generation games.

Bulls

NetEase’s expertise in asymmetric multiplayer (Identity V and Dead by Daylight) would allow it to capitalize on future opportunities in this genre.

Bears

Leadership changes at Activision Blizzard can further delay the launch of much anticipated Diablo Immortal.
