I’ve seen claims that this is just the level design team, and that NetEase is consolidating development, but I have not seen that presented as anything other than rumor at this point.

I did see I missed an actual new article that might get some kind of update in the future, if NetEase responds. No idea if/when that’ll happen though:

But yeah, the game seems to be a big success? Kinda wild.
