A B.C. videogame development company that has offices in Metro Vancouver and Victoria has been purchased by Chinese tech company NetEase Games.

SkyBox Labs, which has two offices in Burnaby, B.C., and one office in Victoria, has worked with major videogame publishers, including Electronic Arts, Xbox Game Studios and Wizards of the Coast.

"Over the last decade, we've had the pleasure to work on beloved games such as Halo Infinite, Minecraft, and Fallout 76," said SkyBox co-founder Shyang Kong in the release. NetEase says SkyBox will continue to work independently, including with existing partners, like Xbox Game Studios."We are thrilled to welcome SkyBox Labs to the NetEase Games family and are committed to creating an environment that allows them to thrive and operate independently as a game studio," said NetEase president of global investment and partnerships Simon Zhu.
