Free-to-play urban open-world RPG ANANTA will launch for PlayStation 5, PC via client download and Steam, iOS, and Android on January 15, 2027, publisher NetEase Games and developer Naked Rain announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via NetEase Games:
About
ANANTA is built around a central premise: Go Viral. Save the World. At its core is a gameplay system driven by social influence and the pursuit of attention. Players take on an identity that is entirely of this era: the influencer. In a modern city governed by algorithms and online culture, players engage with the urban world through the lens of a content creator—an experience unlike anything seen in the urban game genre. ANANTA brings its open world to life through interconnected stories, unexpected encounters and player-driven experiences. Every mission, crisis and citywide adventure presents an opportunity to build a reputation, grow social influence, gain access to new resources and unlock unique influencer perks.
Players can recruit a diverse cast of agents to rebuild the A.C.D. team, switch between playable characters and experience multiple identities, each offering a distinct perspective, storyline and approach to exploration and combat. When trouble strikes, dynamic martial arts combat encourages creativity, enabling players to use interactive surroundings and transform everyday objects into unexpected weapons.
