Get ready, gamers! The highly anticipated free-to-play open world anime RPG, Ananta, once known as Project Mugen, has made waves with its official reveal and a stunning new trailer that draws heavy inspiration from blockbuster titles like Grand Theft Auto and Spider-Man.

Originally teased at Gamescom last year, the newly released trailer showcases a vibrant fusion of action and absurdity that’s hard to ignore. Picture this: players navigating through a fantastical metropolis with an aesthetic reminiscent of both classic anime and contemporary urban vibes, while engaging in thrilling combat against eccentric foes. The game's wild features include everything from stylish acrobatics to chaotic vehicular chases—yes, you can literally swing through the air and drive through futuristic streets with jaw-dropping visuals.

One of the most bizarre yet entertaining moments presented in the trailer includes a character riding a toilet with legs! That’s right, Ananta is embracing its quirky side and it's all part of the charm. According to developer Naked Rain, who is teaming up with publisher NetEase for this project, players will step into the shoes of an elite Agent within the Anti-Chaos Directorate (A.C.D.). Your mission? Navigate through the bizarre landscapes of Nova City, a locale overwhelmed by paranormal occurrences—it’s a blend of humor, adventure, and mystery.

While we don't yet have a release date, excited fans can pre-register for updates and further information. However, there are still questions regarding the game’s monetization model. Ananta will be free-to-play, but the developers have yet to clarify whether the game will include gacha mechanics or microtransactions, a common feature in many free games today.

What’s more, the visual and gameplay elements seem to be influenced by recent hits in the gaming industry, merging the dark underworld of GTA with the fluid, acrobatic style of Insomniac’s Spider-Man series. It draws from a palette that could remind players of MiHoYo's graphical flair or Pearl Abyss' DokeV.

If this trailer is any indication, Ananta is shaping up to be an exhilarating experience packed with fun and a dash of the unexpected. Keep your eyes peeled, as it seems we are in for a wild ride when the game is finally released!
