NetEase Games and Naked Rain's highly anticipated Project Mugen has been officially unveiled as Ananta, a captivating urban, open-world RPG. A new promotional video and trailer showcase the game's name, gameplay, and a more detailed look at its world, characters, and enemies.
The preview offers a glimpse into Nova City, a sprawling metropolis ripe for exploration, featuring a diverse cast of characters battling the encroaching forces of Chaos. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, especially in its fluid movement system. The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a formula popular in today's 3D RPG landscape.

The promotional video highlights impressive movement mechanics. 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 similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact exist, Ananta aims to forge its own path. The true test will be whether it can carve a unique identity and potentially challenge the reigning champions of the 3D gacha RPG genre.
