NetEase launched a limited beta in the U.S. and Canada for Onmyoj, a mobile role-playing game for iOS and Android that has already been a hit in Asia, including NetEase’s home of China. In 2016, Apple honored it as one of the best iPhone games of the year. Facebook also called it one of the best mobile games in 2016.

Onmyoji already has 200 million downloads. Expanding to new territories can increase the mobile game’s popularity. The limited beta will give NetEase a way to test the English version game ahead of an official release.
