Developed by Chinese studio Naked Rain, Ananta is an upcoming open-world game that appears to draw inspiration from Grand Theft Auto and several other well-known titles, though it features anime-style character designs. Recently, Ananta revealed more details about its gameplay mechanics and world, sparking even more comparisons.
Ever since its announcement in 2023, Ananta has remained one of the most anticipated games. At first, it was thought to be another Genshin Impact-esque gacha game, but recent information suggests it doesn't include mechanics from that genre. That said, Ananta appears to borrow elements from various other video game genres, creating an interesting blend of popular features in a single title.
Nearly nine months after its intriguing announcement trailer, Ananta, previously known as Project Mugen, released a new gameplay trailer. Thanks to the video, fans got a glimpse of the core mechanics, including a Spider-Man-like swinging ability that looked straight out of an Insomniac title. The trailer also showcased driving scenes that drew comparisons to the Grand Theft Auto series. But the inspirations and similarities don't end there.
The hand-to-hand combat in Ananta appears heavily inspired by Sleeping Dogs, and there seem to be some hacking...
