The announcement comes after years of delays and development, making the January 2027 launch date one of the most anticipated reveals of Gamescom.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><keyword id=\"38690699\" type=\"Denny\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"Ananta-platforms\" source=\"keywords\">Ananta platforms<\/keyword><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Ananta will be available on PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile devices. PC players can access the game either through Ananta&#8217;s official PC client or through Steam. It is worth noting that an Xbox version has not been confirmed at this time, making PS5 the only console platform that the game will be launching on.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>What is Ananta?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Ananta, previously known as Project Mugen, is a free-to-play open-world role-playing game developed by the Hangzhou-based studio Naked Rain and published by NetEase Games Montreal.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>It was initially announced at Gamescom on August 24, 2023, and was renamed Ananta in November 2024, meaning &#8220;without end&#8221; in Sanskrit.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><keyword id=\"38690698\" type=\"Denny\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"Ananta-gameplay\" source=\"keywords\">Ananta gameplay<\/keyword><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>Ananta is going to be a massive open-world game. You can expect it to feature guns, car chases, hand-to-hand combat, Spider-Man-like web-slinging, and more fun mechanics. The recent Gamescom ONL trailer also confirmed that the game will feature flying cars, adding yet another layer to what is already shaping up to be one of the most mechanically ambitious free-to-play games ever made.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Besides the fun gameplay mechanics, you will also be able to find customisation for the many different characters in the game, going all the way to the clothes they wear. <!-- -->The community has already started calling Ananta an anime version of Grand Theft Auto, and it is quite an accurate description of the same.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Coming to the gacha aspect, the game will not feature a gacha system for characters. Instead, there will be cosmetic purchases available, and you will be able to purchase things like skins. This separates it from all the other open-world gacha games currently prevalent in the gaming community.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>This was all you needed to know about Ananta, its gameplay, and more.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/esports\/news\/everything-we-know-about-ananta-release-date-gameplay-and-platforms\/articleshow\/133547362.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ananta is officially set to release in January 2027 (Image via NetEase) After years of anticipation since it was first revealed, Ananta has officially received a release date, a brand-new gameplay trailer, and a wealth of new details about its open world and story.
