ANANTA

ANANTA's most recent confirmed milestone is its appearance at gamescom 2026's Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026, its first public showcase since the September 2025 Tokyo Game Show gameplay trailer. The appearance was confirmed by the show's host and by the official ANANTA account on August 18, 2026, promising a fresh look at the game, though NetEase has not detailed what will be shown or announced a release date.

ANANTA is built around free-roaming exploration of Nova City using an "ultra-free" 3C traversal system, letting players climb, swing, and use vehicles such as cars, taxis, subways, buses, and helicopters to reach almost anywhere on foot or in the air. Combat leans on environmental interaction: players can pick up street props, disarm enemies, and switch weapons mid-fight, backed by dodging and blocking mechanics. Outside of missions, players can switch between different roles around the city, such as acting as a police officer, hacker, delivery worker, or livestreamer, each tied to a different member of the player's crew. Chaos incidents, paranormal disruptions that intrude on everyday city life, form the game's core threat, and the player's Captain works alongside fellow Agents such as Taffy and Richie to contain them. Unlike many free-to-play RPGs, ANANTA does not use a character gacha; every playable character is unlocked through story progress, with monetization limited to cosmetic items like outfits, vehicle skins, and housing decor.
