When does Ananta come out?
Currently,Anantadoesn’t have an official release date, but there’s speculation it could arrive in late 2025 or early 2026. Given the lack of updates since early this year, a 2026 release seems more likely. With no beta tests conducted yet (only one technical test so far), it may still be a while before the full launch.
Although there’s no official release date, pre-registrations are already open on the game’sofficial website. Millions of users have signed up, which could potentially lead to beta testing in the near future. Hopefully, by then, we’ll get a clearer picture ofAnanta’sdebut.
What platforms will Ananta be on?
Anantawill be available onPlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Android, iOS, and PC. There’s no confirmation yet on an Xbox release, but it’s still a possibility, especially givenNetEase Games‘ history with the platform. The game will also be free-to-play, making it accessible to a wide range of players.
All Ananta trailers
Anantamade its first debut asProject Mugenin the Tomorrow and Surprises Come Together trailer, which showcased an inside look at its gameplay. Various characters explore the city as they glide and wall-run with theirAttack on Titan-like mobility gear.
A few months later, we got a teaser trailer with the newAnantamoniker, as the character, Lykaia, ditched theProject Mugencodename.
The announcement trailer is the latest one we’ve seen, offering a deeper look at the city and its vibrant world. Once the game goes live, players can expect a variety of activities like beach volleyball, mahjong, and basketball. Like any RPG,Anantawill feature plenty of combat. While it’s often compared to HoYoverse titles,Ananta’scombat mechanics stand out, allowing players to point and shoot guns and interact with the environment by throwing and using objects during battles.
What is Ananta about?
In the universe ofAnanta, you’ll play as an Agent in the Anti-Chaos Directorate (A.C.D.). Your mission: manage the chaos that’s erupted along the coast of Nova City. Paranormal activity has flooded the streets, and it’s up to the A.C.D. to uncover the secrets behind it before humanity slips into destruction. Stay alert, follow orders, and report any misdeeds to the command.
A few characters have been revealed, including Alan, a master of the yo-yo; Lykaia, whose nature is wild and animalistic; and Aileen, a dedicated foodie with a serious appetite. Befriend your fellow agents and dive into the heart of a metropolis on the brink. MoreAnantacharacters are sure to be revealed at launch, and if it follows in the footsteps of HoYoverse titles, you may expect to step into the shoes of each one, assembling your own elite team of Agents. Each brings its own style, skills, and secrets to uncover—choosing the right combo might just tip the scales in your fight against unknown enemies.
