Remember Project Mugen? Well, now it’s got an official name – Ananta. The official site now redirects to ‘anantagame.com’, and the social media pages have also had their handles changed. There’s no release date information yet, but clearly, the team is working on the game with haste now.
The new trailers for this upcoming RPG from NetEase and Naked Rain show a large roster of characters traversing the streets of Nova City before hopping vehicles and taking part in epic battles. If you’re curious about who you may find in-game, you can see all of the Ananta characters in our guide.
Ananta release date speculation
We don’t know the Ananta release date just yet, but seeing as there hasn’t been a beta, we think it might be a while off. You can pre-register on the official website right now to keep up with any news.
What is Ananta?
So what is Ananta? You can expect an open-world game in an urban setting, featuring a vibrant cast of characters you gain through a gacha system. You’re welcomed to Nova City, a sunny area that’s ‘perfect for ditching winter’. Does this mean a winter release date? We hope so.
Here you can roam the streets, drive different vehicles, or game your time away, and of course, enter combat with your preferred team. Each character on the roster has a different style, including one guy that uses yo-yos.
The teams behind Ananta are Naked Rain and NetEase – the latter is the same company working on Floatopia, so if you’re like me and have interests in both, your wallet may feel the strain when we get a Floatopia release date too.
Are there any Ananta trailers?
Outside of the few Project Mugen trailers we saw in 2023 and 2024, NetEase has now released two Ananta trailers. The first is a teaser that shows Taffy brainstorming the game’s name while the city behind her is attacked.
The second trailer, which you can watch above, is much more extensive, showing us a great look at Nova City, some new characters, and even a little bit of combat.
We’re huge fans of the best gacha games, so this is at the top of our list of upcoming mobile games we can’t wait to play. In the meantime, we’re going to use the new Infinity Nikki codes and Honkai Star Rail codes to get characters like ZZZ’s Lighter and Honkai Star Rail’s Sunday.
