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 glimpse into its sprawling cityscape, diverse characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from another realm.
A new preview video showcases Nova City, the game's massive urban environment, and introduces a colorful cast of characters battling against otherworldly enemies. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself with unique movement mechanics. The video highlights impressive character agility, leaving players to wonder if exploration will span seamlessly across streets and rooftops, reminiscent of Spider-Man's traversal abilities.
The blend of charming characters and dynamic combat seen in the PV aligns with current trends in 3D RPGs. However, Ananta's ultimate success hinges on its ability to carve its own niche and potentially challenge the dominance of established 3D gacha RPG giants. Only time will tell if it can achieve this ambition.
