About This Game
ANANTA is a free-to-play urban open-world RPG developed by Naked Rain and published by NetEase Games. Previously codenamed Project Mugen, it was first announced at Gamescom 2023 and rebranded to ANANTA in late 2024. The game is set in the vibrant, anime-inspired metropolis of Nova City, where players assume the role of an elite Agent in the Anti-Chaos Directorate (A.C.D.). The core narrative revolves around combating "Chaos" bizarre paranormal phenomena like sentient toilets causing havoc or racing cars terrorizing streets while uncovering personal mysteries, solving challenges, and maintaining balance between order and disorder. It emphasizes humor, adventure, and freedom, with a gacha system for acquiring characters. Gameplay and Features ANANTA blends high-freedom exploration, dynamic combat, and slice-of-life elements in an interconnected urban environment. Key highlights include: Exploration and Setting: Traverse realistic cityscapes like Nova City and linked areas, engaging in activities such as partying at clubs (e.g., Sonic Boom Club), visiting libraries or art museums, or weekend outings. The world encourages discovery, with opportunities for parkour, vehicle use, and interacting with quirky events. Combat System: Real-time battles inspired by kung-fu action, where players leverage environmental objects to defeat enemies. Combat requires discerning neutral entities from threats, with mechanics like shooting, beating, and elemental attacks. Social and Side Activities: Beyond missions, players can build friendships, play mini-games (e.g., basketball, darts, clubbing), and enjoy casual urban life for a more immersive experience. Characters and Progression: Features a diverse cast of anime-style characters obtained via gacha pulls. Players embark on agent missions while exploring personal stories. The game draws comparisons to titles like Genshin Impact for its open-world scope and gacha monetization, but distinguishes itself with an urban fantasy theme and irreverent humor. ANANTA is being developed for multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, iOS, and Android, supporting cross-platform play and operations. It may demand higher specs on mobile due to its intensive open-world design.
