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

NetEase Games and Naked Rain's Project Mugen, now officially titled Ananta, unveils itself with a captivating new PV and teaser trailer. This urban, open-world RPG offers 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, and introduces a diverse cast battling otherworldly enemies. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles like Zenless Zone Zero are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself through unique movement mechanics. The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a popular formula in today's 3D RPG market.

The PV highlights impressive character movement, raising questions about the game's level design. Will traversal be limited to specific areas, or will players enjoy truly fluid, Spider-Man-style exploration across the cityscape?

While similarities to MiHoYo's Genshin Impact exist, Ananta aims to carve its own niche in the crowded 3D gacha RPG landscape. Its success hinges on its ability to stand out and potentially challenge the reigning champions.
