Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled
NetEase Games and Naked Rain's Project Mugen finally has a name—Ananta—and a captivating teaser trailer. This urban, open-world RPG offers a fresh look at its sprawling cityscape, Nova City, diverse characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from beyond.
A new preview video showcases the game's world, characters, and intense combat. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles like Zenless Zone Zero are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, particularly in its impressive movement mechanics. The trailer hints at dynamic traversal, potentially allowing for Spider-Man-esque movement across the city's buildings and streets. The game maintains the blend of charming characters and visually stunning combat typical of modern 3D RPGs.
Fluid Movement and Exploration
The preview video highlights impressive character movement. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across the entire cityscape or is limited to specific areas remains to be seen. Regardless, the potential for dynamic exploration is evident.
While Ananta shares similarities with other popular 3D gacha RPGs, its unique mechanics and visual style aim to carve its own niche. The ultimate question is whether Ananta can stand out from the competition and challenge the dominance of established titles.
