NetEase Unveils Official Name and Captivating Teaser for Ananta

Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled

NetEase Games and Naked Rain have finally revealed the official title and a captivating teaser for their previously enigmatic Project Mugen – it's Ananta! This urban, open-world RPG offers a fresh look at a sprawling cityscape, diverse characters, and a looming threat from otherworldly forces of Chaos.

A new preview video showcases Ananta's vast world, specifically Nova City, along with its diverse cast of characters battling the encroaching chaos. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles like Zenless Zone Zero are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, particularly in its impressive character movement. The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a formula popular in today's 3D RPG market.

Fluid Movement and Exploration

The preview video highlights impressive character movement. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across Nova City's streets and rooftops, reminiscent of Spider-Man, remains to be seen. The extent of the open world and its instance-based elements are yet to be fully revealed.

While Ananta shares similarities with MiHoYo's Genshin Impact, NetEase's latest venture aims to carve its own niche within the 3D gacha RPG genre. The key question is whether Ananta can stand out from the crowd and potentially challenge the reigning champions.
