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 metropolis ripe for exploration, a diverse cast of characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from another realm. 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 landscape.
Impressive Movement and Exploration
The PV showcases impressive movement mechanics. Whether this translates to instanced areas within the city or truly free-roaming, Spider-Man-style traversal remains to be seen.
While Ananta shares similarities with MiHoYo's Hoyoverse titles like Genshin Impact, NetEase aims to carve its own niche in the 3D gacha RPG market. The ultimate question is whether Ananta can stand alone and potentially challenge the current genre leaders.
