NetEase Unveils Official Name and Trailer for Project Mugen: 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 trailer offers a more detailed look at Nova City, the game's sprawling cityscape, its diverse cast, and the looming threat of chaotic forces. While comparisons to MiHoYo's titles, particularly Zenless Zone Zero, are inevitable, Ananta distinguishes itself with unique movement mechanics. The game promises a blend of charming characters and visually striking combat, a popular formula in today's 3D RPG market.

The PV highlights impressive movement capabilities. Whether this translates to seamless traversal across the city's streets and rooftops remains to be seen, but the potential for Spider-Man-style exploration is evident.

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 established leaders.
