NetEase Unveils Ananta: Project Mugen's Official Name and Teaser Trailer

NetEase Games and Naked Rain's previously enigmatic Project Mugen has now been officially titled Ananta, accompanied by a new teaser and gameplay preview video. This urban, open-world RPG promises an immersive experience set in the sprawling metropolis of Nova City.

The newly released preview video offers a deeper look into Ananta's world, showcasing its diverse cast of characters and the looming threat of otherworldly beings that threaten to unleash chaos upon the city. The narrative seems to blend familiar elements with fresh twists, setting the stage for an engaging storyline.

One of the standout features highlighted in the PV is the game's impressive movement mechanics. While it remains to be seen whether the cityscape will be segmented into instances or allow for seamless, Spider-man-like exploration, the fluidity of movement is certainly a highlight. This aspect of Ananta sets it apart, even as it invites comparisons to MiHoYo's successful titles, such as Zenless Zone Zero and Genshin Impact.

Ananta aims to carve its own niche in the crowded field of 3D RPGs, combining cute characters with dynamic combat systems that are currently popular in the genre. The question remains whether Ananta can distinguish itself enough to challenge the dominance of established gacha RPGs.
