NetEase Games and Naked Rain's Project Mugen is officially titled Ananta, a new urban open-world RPG. A recently released PV and teaser trailer offer a clearer picture of the game's world, characters, and gameplay.
The preview showcases Nova City, a sprawling metropolis ripe for exploration, a diverse cast of characters, and a looming threat from otherworldly forces of Chaos. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, especially Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself through unique movement mechanics. The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a popular formula in today's 3D RPG landscape.
The PV highlights impressive movement capabilities. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across the city's streets and rooftops remains to be seen. While similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact exist, Ananta's success hinges on its ability to carve its own niche and potentially challenge the dominance of existing 3D gacha RPGs.
