Genshin, GTA, ZZZ Hybrid Greenlit by Chinese Authorities

Project Mugen, now titled Ananta, is nearing its full launch after generating significant buzz with its initial promotional materials. The game cleverly blends elements from popular titles like Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, and even GTA, all presented within a captivating anime aesthetic.

Ananta's release in China has been approved, with a projected 2025 launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile platforms. A recent trailer showcased Ananta as an open-world urban RPG where players assume the role of an A.C.D. agent in the sun-kissed coastal city of Nova, a location ripe with mystery and adventure.

This ambitious, large-scale project is a collaborative effort between NetEase Studios, Thunder Fire Studio, and Naked Rain. Its global appeal stems from its familiar yet supernatural blend of environments.

Key features highlighted for Ananta include four-player team-based combat, a distinctive art style, and fluid, high-speed movement.
