Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled

NetEase Games and Naked Rain have finally revealed the official title for their enigmatic Project Mugen: Ananta. A new promotional video and teaser offer a closer look at this urban, open-world RPG, showcasing its expansive cityscape, diverse characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces.

The preview video highlights Nova City, the game's massive urban environment, along with a diverse cast and the classic struggle against otherworldly beings. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, especially in its fluid movement mechanics. The game appears to blend charming characters with dynamic combat, a formula popular in today's 3D RPG market.

Impressive Movement and Exploration

The promotional video showcases impressive movement capabilities. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across the cityscape, including rooftops and streets, or more contained instanced areas remains to be seen. Only further information will clarify the scope of Ananta's exploration mechanics.

While similarities to MiHoYo's Hoyoverse titles like Genshin Impact are apparent, NetEase's Ananta aims to carve its own niche within the crowded 3D gacha RPG landscape. Its success will hinge on its ability to stand out from the competition and potentially challenge the current market leaders.
