Ananta Unveiled: Project Mugen Officially Announced by NetEase

NetEase Games and Naked Rain's Project Mugen is officially titled Ananta, a new urban, open-world RPG. A recently released PV and teaser trailer showcase gameplay and the game's world, characters, and enemies.

The preview video highlights Nova City, a sprawling cityscape, a diverse cast of characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from another realm. While comparisons to MiHoYo's games, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself through unique movement mechanics. The game blends appealing character designs with dynamic combat, a popular formula in today's 3D RPG market.

The PV showcases impressive movement abilities. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across Nova City's streets and rooftops remains to be seen. While similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact exist, Ananta aims to carve its own niche in the 3D gacha RPG genre. Its success will depend on its ability to stand out and potentially challenge the current market leaders.
