NetEase Games and Naked Rain have announced that the free-to-play open-world RPG Ananta will launch worldwide on January 15th, 2027.

An open world

Ananta combines open-world exploration with martial arts combat, where players will be able to switch between different playable characters and use the environment during battles. 

The game is set across fictional cities, though they are heavily inspired by real-world locations such as Shanghai, Hangzhou and Tokyo. Players can explore these cities through various modes of transportation, interact with NPCs and take part in everyday activities. 

One of the game's main features revolves around social influence, with the player taking on the role of a content creator building their reputation. 

Ananta will be coming to mobile, PC and PlayStation 5.
