NetEase Splits from Another Western Studio—Anchor Point Goes Independent

Anchor Point (a western studio originally under NetEase) announced it’s transitioning to an independent company and looking for new backing/partners.

What it means for gamers: independence can mean sharper creative identity and fewer corporate detours… but it can also mean funding risk and slower timelines. Expect quieter development periods, then sudden “we’re back” beats when partnerships lock in.
