NetEase Games, global game developer and publisher of many popular titles, streamed the NetEase Connect event this weekend, showcasing a heap of fresh titles, such as Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, sure to make their way onto our best mobile games list.

The stream showcases a whopping 19 games – including five new reveals – that NetEase has coming up, along with an update to their global esports strategy. Updates for eagerly awaited games like Dead by Daylight Mobile, Justice, and Harry Potter: Magic Awakened are also on the cards, along with many other games spanning quite a few genres.

If you’ve not heard of these titles, let us fill you in. Justice Mobile is a new MMORPG set in a world of magic, mythology, and martial arts. Harry Potter: Magic Awakened takes us to Hogwarts in a different capacity – combining card collecting and MMORPG elements to make an original wizarding adventure.

This year’s NetEast Connect event took place on Saturday, May 20, 2023. It streamed at 10:30 PST, 13:30 EDT, and 18:30 BST for us across the pond.

We got to see even more content from the upcoming Harry Potter mobile game, including character customisation, the Forbidden Forest adventure, and a rhythm minigame connected to the Yule Ball. Pre-registration is open now on the official website, and we have a feeling the release date is just around the corner as NetEase dropped a redemption code during the livestream.
