Grasshopper Manufacture Splits from NetEase
Grasshopper Manufacture, founded by Suda51, has announced its independence from NetEase Games, effective October 1, 2026. The studio aims to deliver a wider variety of game styles as an independent developer. This move comes as NetEase has been scaling back its acquisitions and closing other studios, with Grasshopper Manufacture being a fan-favorite studio that NetEase likely chose to release due to its established reputation and ability to self-sustain.
