Project Mugen now has an official name and teaser trailer as NetEase shows off Ananta

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 reveals Nova City, a sprawling metropolis, a diverse cast, and the looming threat of chaotic forces. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself, especially in its movement mechanics. The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a common theme in today's 3D RPGs.

The PV highlights impressive movement capabilities. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across the cityscape, including rooftops, or more segmented areas remains to be seen. While similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact exist, Ananta aims to carve its own niche in the 3D gacha RPG market. Its success hinges on its ability to stand out from the competition and potentially challenge the current top contenders.
