NetEase Games Awarded Best Song from Hollywood Music In Media Awards

  NetEase is proud to announce that the original theme song, Beyond the Sky, for its space sandbox MMO, EVE Echoes, has been awarded the 2022 Hollywood Music In Media Awards for Best Song in the Mobile Game Category.

  Two years have passed since EVE Echoes' global launch, and it has achieved remarkable domestic and international success. The new theme song, Beyond the Sky, is a special piece made to celebrate the second anniversary, in line with the anniversary theme of "sailing through the waves and keeping the flame of passion alive." The song narrates humanity's tenacity and memories after thousands of years of interstellar exploration.

  Beyond the Sky was created by NetEase Games and revolved around the themes of "past" and "present," depicting a universe rife with conflict through the clash of various musical instruments. The song begins with a Pad chord, slowly narrating humanity's longing for the vast expanse thousands of years ago. It also depicts how technology and curiosity drive humanity to reach for the stars, exploring uncharted galaxies and leaving behind the footprints of human civilization.

  EVE Echoes is an officially licensed mobile game developed by NetEase Games and CCP Games. Based upon the EVE Online design principles, NetEase's development team has created an authentic free-to-play sandbox world for mobile players to take on any role and experience the society of the futuristic interstellar civilization. Since its launch, EVE Echoes has been dedicated to innovation and experimentation in music, game content, and more. The team is also constantly exploring the definition of "Chinese science fiction" and introduced a new faction, Yan Jung, in the EVE universe that integrates the aesthetics and values of Chinese culture to provide foreign players the opportunity to understand Chinese traditional culture. EVE Echoes also released the acclaimed "Blue and White Porcelain" nanocore inspired by Chinese ink wash paintings and combined with sci-fi elements to give players a unique new experience.

  As Chinese sci-fi works such as "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth" come into the public's view, China's sci-fi movement continues to move forward. NetEase will keep exploring and defining Chinese science fiction using the EVE universe as the foundation to bring Chinese culture onto the international stage and allow players worldwide to experience the beauty of Chinese culture.
