The video game acquisitions continue: this time it’s French developer Quantic Dream, which has been bought by Chinese game company NetEase.
NetEase, which publishes Blizzard’s mobile game Diablo Immortal, said it had acquired the studio behind Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls without disclosing a fee. NetEase originally acquired a minority stake in Quantic Dream in 2019.
Quantic Dream, led by David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumière, is now NetEase’s first studio in Europe. It will “continue to operate independently, focusing on creating and publishing its video games on all platforms, as well as supporting and publishing third-party developed titles, while at the same time leveraging NetEase’s significant game development capabilities”, the company insisted.
