NetEase Games and Naked Rain's highly anticipated Project Mugen has officially been unveiled as Ananta, a captivating urban, open-world RPG. A new PV and teaser trailer offer a compelling glimpse into its gameplay and intriguing world.
The preview showcases Nova City, a sprawling metropolis ripe for exploration, a diverse cast of characters, and the ominous threat of chaotic forces from beyond. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself with unique movement mechanics. The trailer hints at impressive traversal abilities, raising questions about the extent of free-roaming exploration – whether movement will be confined to specific areas or allow for truly fluid, Spider-Man-esque traversal of the cityscape.
The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a formula prevalent in today's popular 3D RPGs. While emulating the success of titles like Genshin Impact is a clear ambition, Ananta's ultimate success will hinge on its ability to carve its own niche and potentially challenge the reigning champions of the 3D gacha RPG genre.
