Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled
NetEase Games and Naked Rain have officially revealed the title of their enigmatic Project Mugen: Ananta. A new PV and teaser trailer showcase gameplay and offer a more detailed look at this urban, open-world RPG.
The preview video highlights Nova City, a sprawling cityscape ripe for exploration, a diverse cast of characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from beyond. 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 popular formula in today's 3D RPG market.
Impressive Movement and Exploration
The PV showcases impressive movement mechanics. Whether this translates to instanced areas within the city or truly Spider-Man-esque traversal remains to be seen.
While Ananta shares similarities with MiHoYo's Hoyoverse titles like Genshin Impact, NetEase's ambition is clear: to create a unique experience that can compete with, and potentially surpass, the current leading 3D gacha RPGs.
