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. This urban, open-world RPG offers a glimpse into its sprawling cityscape, Nova City, a diverse cast of characters, and the looming threat of chaotic forces from beyond.
The trailer showcases impressive movement mechanics, raising questions about the extent of explorable areas within Nova City. Will traversal be limited to instanced sections, or will players enjoy truly fluid, Spider-Man-esque movement across the city's streets and rooftops? This remains to be seen.
While comparisons to MiHoYo's successful titles like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero are inevitable, Ananta aims to carve its own niche, particularly through its unique movement system. The game promises a blend of charming characters and dynamic combat, a formula popular in today's 3D RPG market.
Beyond the Familiar:
The question remains: can Ananta stand out from the crowd and potentially challenge the reigning champions of the 3D gacha RPG genre? Only time will tell if NetEase's latest offering can achieve this ambitious goal.
