NetEase Games, a subsidiary of Chinese internet giant NetEase Inc, today announced that it has acquired a strategic minority stake in Canada’s largest independent games studio, Behaviour Interactive. Following this investment, Montreal-based Behaviour will continue to operate independently and NetEase Games will nominate a director to the board. Behaviour Interactive, which made the popular horror game Dead By Daylight, had previously consulted NetEase Games on its mobile game Identity V, which has a very similar concept.
