Project Mugen, originally revealed at last year’s Gamescom, has been rebranded.
The free-to-play RPG will now go by the moniker ANANTA, with a fresh trailer showcasing its high energy gameplay.
Boasting an anime aesthetic, you might think that, at a glance, ANANTA is akin to something like Genshin Impact or Zenless Zone Zero.
And, of course, that’s not a totally wrong assumption but it’s not the first comparison I’d make.

In fact, ANANTA appears to be much more in line with Grand Theft Auto VI and the Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise, blending frenetic and violent car chases with city-swinging action.
And no, I don’t quite understand why these characters can swing like Spider-Man but I won’t be complaining about it either.
Don’t believe me? Take a look at ANANTA in action below.
See? GTA VI meets Marvel’s Spider-Man sounds like an unlikely duo but seconds into the trailer and you’ll get that, “Oh, I see it,” moment.
This trailer has undoubtedly left me with a lot of questions, not just about the swinging.
Did you also see the rideable legged toilet … bizarre.
ANANTA comes from developer Naked Rain and is set to be published by NetEase.
As for the official synopsis, “Welcome to Nova, the sun-soaked coastal hub that's perfect for ditching winter,” it reads.
“This city is electric - whether you're street surfing in Paradox Plaza or pulling marathon gaming sessions at Glimmergold, there's never a dull moment. And with humans and Chaos living side by side, you never know what crazy twists your adventure might take.”
As I said, the game is set to be free-to-play so it’ll likely include microtransactions, and it currently remains without a release date.
What we do know is that it’s in development for PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android.
If you’re interested, you can pre-register now which will be the best way to keep up to date with news of any potential playtests.
I’m looking forward to seeing this one evolve over the coming months.
