Ananta (previously Project Mugen) is an open-world RPG developed by Naked Rain under Thunder Fire Studio, a subsidiary of NetEase Games. It is marketed as a love letter to urban fantasies, and combines fast-paced action with narrative-driven progression in a modern metropolitan setting. While Naked Rain’s portfolio is still small, the publisher NetEase is a major player in the gaming industry with titles under their belt like Naraka: Bladepoint.

The game is set in a vibrant, interactive city teeming with life, with scenes ranging from busy commuters to stray animals and even traffic accidents players can cause to give it a sense of realism. Players can explore the urban landscape using a plethora of methods, including driving vehicles, parkour, and even grappling hooks reminiscent of Marvel’s Spider-Man. The combat, meanwhile, blends elements of traditional mobile action RPGs with unique character abilities, with some characters allowing for third-person shooting mechanics. Ananta also promises destructible environments, arcade mini-games, and seamless exploration of interconnected cityscapes inspired by global cultures.
