NetEase Unveils Ananta: Project Mugen's Official Name and Teaser Trailer

NetEase Games and Naked Rain's previously enigmatic Project Mugen has now been officially titled Ananta, accompanied by an exciting new teaser and PV that showcase both gameplay and the fresh name. As an urban, open-world RPG, Ananta offers a deeper look into what players can anticipate upon its release.

The newly released preview video delves into the story, characters, and expansive world of Ananta. Set in the vast urban landscape of Nova City, players will encounter a diverse cast of characters and confront the ominous threat of otherworldly beings that seek to unleash chaos and destruction. The narrative promises a thrilling adventure amidst the backdrop of a city under siege.

While Ananta draws inevitable comparisons to MiHoYo's successful titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, it distinguishes itself with unique elements, especially in its approach to movement. The game promises a blend of adorable characters and dynamic combat, a formula that has proven popular in today's 3D RPGs.

One of the standout features highlighted in the PV is the impressive movement mechanics. Whether the cityscape will be segmented into instances, such as between streets and rooftops, or if NetEase and Naked Rain are aiming for a more seamless, Spider-man-like exploration experience remains to be seen. This aspect of Ananta could set it apart in the crowded field of 3D gacha RPGs.

Although Ananta shares similarities with MiHoYo's Hoyoverse titles like Genshin Impact, NetEase is not the first to attempt to replicate their success. The crucial question is whether Ananta can carve out its own niche and potentially challenge the dominance of current 3D gacha RPG leaders.
