Chinese online game developer and operator Netease (Nasdaq: NTES) revealed that it had already broken even on its investment of over RMB 100 mln into 3D MMORPG Tianxia II, within less than a year of closed beta testing. Development costs for Netease's Fantasy Westward Journey only reached RMB 2.5 mln, and took two years of operation to recoup.
Tianxia II went into a first round of closed beta last March, and entered unlimited closed beta testing last June.
