NetEase Games and Naked Rain have officially unveiled ANANTA, the eagerly awaited free-to-play urban fantasy RPG. Originally introduced as "Project MUGEN" at Gamescom 2023, the game continues to build excitement with its anime-inspired open world and promise of limitless adventure. With pre-registration now live and a fresh gameplay trailer released, players have a better look at what this ambitious title offers. From vibrant cityscapes and whimsical encounters to fluid combat and a rich cast of characters, ANANTA is shaping up to be one of the most compelling RPGs of its kind, set to launch in the near future.

Welcome to NOVA City, Your Urban Playground!

ANANTA immerses players in the vast, interconnected world of Nova City—an anime-styled metropolis full of surprises at every turn. Previously known as Project MUGEN, the game was rebranded as ANANTA in November 2024, coinciding with the launch of pre-registration and an offline test in China. The latest seven-minute trailer reveals a city teeming with life, vibrant neon nights, and endless exploration opportunities.

Unlike typical RPG settings, Nova City is more than just a quest hub—it’s a living, breathing world. You can explore sleek business districts or hidden backstreets, interact with stray cats, eavesdrop on NPC conversations, or stumble into impromptu gang fights. Every decision you make leaves an impression on the city and its residents, adding a layer of interactivity and consequence uncommon in most open-world RPGs.

Combat is built around dodging, blocking, and countering, allowing you to adapt quickly to any situation. In chaotic moments, you’ll need to distinguish between innocent bystanders and genuine threats—sorting order from chaos—to protect civilians while taking down foes. This combination of fast-paced decision-making and improvisational fighting makes every encounter feel cinematic and dynamic.

ANANTA can also be enjoyed on the big screen using BlueStacks on your PC or laptop, with full keyboard and mouse support.
