Ananta: NetEase's Open-World RPG Unveiled
NetEase Games and Naked Rain's previously enigmatic Project Mugen has officially been revealed as Ananta, accompanied by a captivating new PV and teaser trailer. The urban, open-world RPG promises a compelling experience, offering a glimpse into its expansive world, diverse characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces.
The preview video showcases Nova City, a sprawling metropolis ripe for exploration. Players will encounter a diverse cast of characters and face formidable enemies from beyond. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, particularly in its impressive character movement. The game maintains the blend of charming characters and dynamic combat common in today's 3D RPGs.
Fluid Movement and Exploration
The PV highlights impressive character movement, raising questions about the game's level design. Will traversal be limited to instanced areas, or will Ananta offer truly free-roaming exploration reminiscent of Spider-Man?
While similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact are apparent, Ananta aims to carve its own niche in the crowded 3D gacha RPG market. Its success will hinge on its ability to stand out from the competition and potentially challenge the current genre leaders.
