Ananta Unveiled: Project Mugen Reborn with Epic Trailer

Naked Rain's and NetEase's upcoming open-world RPG, originally titled Project Mugen, has been officially renamed Ananta. First revealed at Gamescom 2023, the game recently unveiled a new trailer, promising further details on December 5th. The trailer itself is viewable here:

The reason for the name change remains undisclosed by the developers. However, Ananta, meaning "infinite" in Sanskrit, mirrors the meaning of Mugen, its Japanese equivalent, and aligns with the game's Chinese title. While the name change has sparked mixed reactions within the gaming community, the continued development is a welcome relief.

Comparisons are already being drawn between Ananta and Hotta Studio's upcoming RPG, Neverness to Everness. Ananta's stylish trailer lacks gameplay footage, giving Neverness to Everness a potential advantage for some players. However, Ananta's visual appeal is considered superior by many.

A surprising development is the deletion of Project Mugen's original social media accounts, including a YouTube channel boasting over 100,000 subscribers and millions of views. Only the Discord server remains, albeit renamed. This fresh start has left many gamers puzzled.

Ananta casts players as an Infinite Trigger, a paranormal investigator battling supernatural threats. Characters include Taffy, Bansy, Alan, Mechanika, and Dila.
