With recent reports that NetEase might have begun scaling back on its non-Chinese investments, CEO and creative director of Anchor Point Studios Paul Ehreth has revealed that the studio is “still full steam ahead” when it comes to working on its first game.

Taking to social media platform X, Ehreth spoke about the recent reports surrounding NetEase and its international investments, as well as a host of studios being shut down.

He revealed that Anchor Point Studios itself hasn’t been affected by any of the studio closures, and referred to NetEase as a great partner. “Due to recent news of multiple studio closures, we’ve had many friends and fans reach out to us out of concern,” posted Ehreth on X. “After responding to each of them, I wanted to make a more formal statement that Anchor Point Studios has not been affected by any studio closures, and we are still full steam ahead building our game.” Ehreth goes on to talk about the volatile state of the gaming industry right now in the lengthy X post.

Despite this, however, Anchor Point Studios is still growing, and complete with “several positions open” for work on its debut game. “So far, NetEase has been a great partner for us, giving us creative control and development support, and we look forward to the prospect of shipping an exceptional game together in the future,” he wrote. “While it may be stormy seas at the moment for the industry, we are very much still growing, and we have several positions open for anyone looking for a safe harbor.

Come join us – Per Aspera, Ad Astra!” Anchor Point Studios was founded back in 2023 by industry veteran Ehreth, who has previously worked on major titles in his 20 years in game development.
