Project Mugen now has an official name and teaser trailer as NetEase shows off Ananta

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 PV and teaser trailer showcase gameplay and offer a clearer picture of this urban, open-world RPG.

The preview video highlights Nova City, a sprawling cityscape ripe for exploration, a diverse cast of characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from beyond. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, particularly in its fluid movement system. The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a popular formula in today's 3D RPG landscape.

Impressive Movement and Exploration

The PV showcases impressive movement mechanics. Whether this translates to instanced areas within the city or truly free-flowing, Spider-Man-style traversal remains to be seen.

While Ananta shares similarities with MiHoYo's Hoyoverse titles like Genshin Impact, NetEase aims to carve its own niche in the 3D gacha RPG market. The ultimate question is whether Ananta can stand out from the competition and potentially challenge the current top contenders.
