NetEase Games and Naked Rain's mysterious Project Mugen has been officially unveiled as Ananta, a vibrant urban open-world RPG. A new promotional video and teaser trailer showcase the game's captivating world, diverse characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces.
The preview offers a glimpse into Nova City, the sprawling metropolis players will explore. It highlights a diverse cast of characters and the epic struggle against otherworldly beings.
While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself with impressive movement mechanics. The trailer hints at dynamic traversal, potentially offering Spider-Man-esque freedom of movement across the city's streets and rooftops. The game maintains the popular blend of charming characters and stylish combat common in modern 3D RPGs.
The dynamic movement showcased in the PV is particularly striking. Whether this fluidity extends to seamless transitions between different areas of the city remains to be seen. The developers' ambition to create truly innovative exploration mechanics is evident.
Although Ananta shares similarities with other successful 3D gacha RPGs, its unique features raise the question of whether it can carve its own niche and potentially challenge the established leaders in the genre.
