NetEase Games and developer Naked Rain have announced that ANANTA, a free-to-play open-world RPG set in a modern city, will launch on January 15, 2027. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android. The announcement was made during gamescom 2026’s Opening Night Live.

ANANTA is built around the idea of using social influence to help save the world. Players take on the role of an influencer living in a city shaped by algorithms and online culture, viewing the world through the eyes of a content creator. The developers describe this as a fresh take on the urban action genre, with the city responding to how players build their reputation and grow their following. Completing missions, handling citywide crises, and taking part in random encounters all feed into this system, unlocking new resources and influencer perks along the way.

Players will also recruit a group of agents to rebuild a team called the A.C.D., switching between different playable characters as they explore the city. Each character comes with their own background, story, and combat style. During fights, the game leans into dynamic martial arts combat, encouraging players to use their surroundings and turn everyday objects into makeshift weapons.

The game also features more than 100 NPCs, each with their own stories and quests. Building relationships with them can lead to new allies, items, badges, and combat abilities. On top of playing as an influencer, players will be able to step into other roles as well, including an NCCA officer, a hacker, and a delivery rider, giving them different ways to interact with the city and its people.
