Jackalyptic Games: The New Identity of Jackalope Games

Following a rebranding effort, NetEase's subsidiary, formerly known as Jackalope Games, is now operating under the name Jackalyptic Games. Led by CEO Jack Emmert, the studio is actively developing its inaugural title, a game rooted in the Warhammer intellectual property, in partnership with Games Workshop. According to Emmert, "Having spent my career crafting immersive MMO narratives, I am excited to announce that our first game at Jackalyptic Games will delve into the vast and intricate worlds of Warhammer." Emmert also expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with Games Workshop to bring the profound lore of this IP to life, acknowledging the significant task at hand. The studio, initially established as Jackalope Games in 2022, marked NetEase's first foray into the US games market.
