HONG KONG : NetEase Inc said on Friday it had acquired Canadian gaming studio SkyBox Labs, best known for co-developing hits including Halo Infinite and Minecraft, as China’s second largest video games firm steps up a global expansion effort.
The move comes after NetEase’ acquisition of Quantic Dream, a French gaming studio behind Detroit: Become Human, in August. It also comes after US gaming titan Activision Blizzard abruptly ended its 14-years partnership with NetEase in November. NetEase rose to become a gaming giant partly by publishing Blizzard’s games in China in its early years, but the company has been rapidly scaling up its own in-house game development capability in recent years, with self-developed games now accounting for over 60 per cent of the company's revenue.
It launched its first U.S. studio, Jackalope Games, in May and three months later opened its second, Jar of Sparks, led by Jerry Hook who was the head of design for Halo Infinite.
