Changes in Hong Kong stocks | NetEase (09999) rose more than 5% at the end of the session, Blizzard recently announced the 2030 game distribution plan, which is expected to bring additional revenue to NetEase

The Zhitong Finance App learned that NetEase (09999) rose more than 5% at the end of the session. As of press release, it rose 4.70% to HK$189.4, with a turnover of HK$1,729 billion.

According to the news, on September 13, at the 2026 Blizzard Carnival event, Blizzard Entertainment officially announced the new “StarCraft” game in the genre of an open world shooter, which is scheduled to be launched in 2030. Goldman Sachs pointed out that Blizzard announced its new game release plans until 2030 (including “Diablo V,” “StarCraft,” and “World of Warcraft: Infinite”), which is expected to bring in additional revenue streams in view of NetEase's exclusive licensing cooperation in China.

The bank also said that it has evaluated NetEase's main game pipeline in 2027 and believes that the game pipeline will boost the company's revenue after the lackluster 2026. If implemented properly, the bank expects the game pipeline to contribute more than 10% in incremental revenue next year. More importantly, the increase in overseas market revenue and popularity brought about by “Infinity” is expected to change the stock's narrative and drive a revaluation.
