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 – now known as Ananta. This urban, open-world RPG offers a glimpse into its sprawling cityscape, Nova City, a diverse cast of characters, and a looming threat from otherworldly forces of Chaos.
A new preview video showcases Ananta's gameplay, highlighting dynamic movement and action-packed combat. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles like Zenless Zone Zero are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself with unique movement mechanics. The game promises a blend of charming characters and visually stunning combat, a popular formula in the 3D RPG genre.
The preview video demonstrates impressive character movement. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across Nova City's streets and rooftops remains to be seen, but the potential for Spider-Man-style exploration is intriguing.
While Ananta shares similarities with other popular 3D gacha RPGs, its success hinges on its ability to carve its own identity and potentially challenge the established leaders in the genre.
