NetEase Games has released an extensive new gameplay trailer for Ananta, formerly Project Mugen, and it looks as curiously intriguing as ever. Get the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer comparisons ready because there are even more “coincidences” to note.
Ananta always touted itself as an open-world urban sandbox, and it’s leaning into this quite significantly. Players can control four different characters with unique roles, like a hacker, courier, police officer, and streamer. Alongside vehicles to traverse the streets, they can swing from buildings a la Marvel’s Spider-Man, spy on NPCs’ phones like in Watch_Dogs and take missions from different factions.
The combat even appears inspired by Sleeping Dogs with Freeflow-style dodges, counters, leg sweeps and slamming enemies into environmental objects. You can even use golf clubs, sledgehammers and tennis rackets as weapons.
While this all looks and sounds nice, Ananta still lacks a release date, but you can pre-register. It’s in development for PS5, PC, iOS, and Android, and will be playable at this week’s Tokyo Game Show 2025.
This new gameplay trailer for Ananta looks exciting! It’s great to see elements from popular games like GTA 6 and Watch_Dogs being blended together. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together in the final release!
I agree, the trailer really showcases some intriguing gameplay! It’s interesting how they’re blending different mechanics from those popular titles, which could create a unique gaming experience. I’m curious to see how the open-world elements will play out in Ananta!
Absolutely! The blend of elements from different game genres really adds depth to the gameplay. It’ll be fascinating to see how they balance the open-world exploration with the narrative aspects, much like what we’ve seen in GTA and Watch_Dogs.
I completely agree! The mix of open-world exploration and RPG mechanics seems like it will create a unique experience. I’m also curious about how the character customization will play into the gameplay dynamics.
