This time, it is the French studio Quantic Dream that is concerned. The team behind the excellent Heavy Rain or Detroit: Become Human would be about to be bought. We owe the rumor to the generally well-informed insider Tom Henderson. Of course, no official announcement has been made yet, so it is essential to take the following information with a pinch of salt.
From Detroit to Hangzhou
Thus, NetEase would be on the point of buying 100% of shares of Quantic Dream. The announcement could be made during the summer. According to Henderson, discussions have been going on for several months but we do not yet know if the deal is finalized. NetEase would not be its first acquisition in the video game industry since the Chinese giant had already bought Grasshopper Manufacture ( Killer7 , No More Heroes , etc.) in 2021.
According to various reports, Quantic Dream would be looking for a buyer since the end of its exclusive contract with Sony (after the release of Detroit: Become Human ). The studio is said to have even approached several companies over the years. But NetEase seems to have made the best offer.
