Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled
NetEase Games and Naked Rain have finally revealed the official title for their mysterious Project Mugen: Ananta. A new promotional video (PV) and teaser trailer showcase the urban, open-world RPG's gameplay and stunning visuals.
The preview offers a clearer look at Ananta's world, characters, and the chaotic forces threatening Nova City. The game features a sprawling cityscape, a diverse cast, and the classic struggle against otherworldly beings.
While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, especially in its impressive character movement. The PV highlights dynamic traversal, leaving open the question of whether exploration will be limited to instanced areas or offer truly free-roaming, Spider-Man-style movement across Nova City.
Ananta blends appealing character designs with stylish combat, a formula popular in today's 3D RPG market. However, its success hinges on its ability to carve its own niche and potentially challenge the dominance of established 3D gacha RPGs. Can Ananta stand out from the crowd and claim its place among the best? Only time will tell.
