NetEase Launches Targeted Ban Surge After Marvel Rivals Cheating Crackdown

NetEase says it has a zero-tolerance policy on cheats in Marvel Rivals and has named, shamed and banned nearly 500 players after a weekend update, partially sharing names, user IDs and ranks from Bronze to Celestial. The cheats were detected by Marvel Rivals’ automated penalty system, and penalties include permanent bans and potential device or IP bans. Players who believe they were unjustly penalised can appeal through official channels as NetEase aims to keep fair play in the Chronoverse.

NetEase pulls funding from Yakuza creator's Nagoshi Studio, risking Gang of Dragon

Bloomberg reports NetEase will stop funding Nagoshi Studio in May after the studio reportedly needed about $44.4 million to finish Gang of Dragon, threatening the studio and its debut game. Nagoshi Studio is seeking new sponsors but has yet to secure any, and could continue but would have to pay NetEase to retain branding/assets. The project has been showcased at The Game Awards 2025, and NetEase’s move follows the 2024 shutdown of Ouka Studio.

NetEase Drops Funding Threatening Nagoshi's Gang of Dragon PS5 Project

NetEase plans to pull funding from Nagoshi Studio's PS5 game Gang of Dragon, a Yakuza-inspired title, after a strategic shift; employees were informed that funds will stop in May. The project reportedly needs about ¥7 billion ($44 million) to finish, and while NetEase isn’t opposed to independent development, the publisher would require repayment for work already completed. A new publisher could potentially salvage the project, but the odds look uncertain unless someone steps in.

Marvel Rivals to curb farming exploits with new behavior-detection system
