Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled
NetEase Games and Naked Rain's previously enigmatic Project Mugen has officially been revealed as Ananta, accompanied by a captivating new PV and teaser trailer. This urban, open-world RPG offers a glimpse into its sprawling cityscape, Nova City, a diverse cast of characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from beyond.
The trailer showcases dynamic gameplay, highlighting impressive character movement and flashy combat sequences. 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 exciting action, a formula popular in today's 3D RPG landscape.
Fluid Movement and Exploration
The PV emphasizes impressive character movement, leaving open the question of whether exploration will be limited to instanced areas or allow for truly free-roaming traversal, reminiscent of Spider-Man games.
While similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact are apparent, Ananta aims to carve its own niche within the 3D gacha RPG genre. Its success will hinge on its ability to stand out from the competition and potentially challenge the current market leaders.
