Anchor Point Studios is transitioning to independence after being founded by NetEase in April 2023. CEO Paul Ehreth, formerly lead designer on Control, says the studio is seeking investor partnerships to fund its debut action-adventure title. The move marks another western studio departure from NetEase, which has shuttered or severed ties with multiple overseas studios despite pledging support in February 2025.
