Mugen Project Renamed to Ananta, Developers Release Exclusive Trailer

Announcing Ananta: The Formerly Known as Project Mugen RPG

Remember Project Mugen, the highly anticipated urban open-world RPG from Naked Rain and NetEase? It's had a name change! Now known as Ananta, this intriguing title, first unveiled at Gamescom 2023, has finally released a new trailer after a long period of silence. More details are promised on December 5th, but for now, feast your eyes on the latest footage:

The Mystery of the Name Change

While the developers haven't offered an explanation, the name Ananta, meaning "infinite" in Sanskrit, aligns perfectly with the original title, Mugen, which also signifies infinity. The Chinese title further supports this thematic continuity. The gaming community is divided on the change, but universally relieved the project hasn't been cancelled.

Comparisons to Neverness to Everness are inevitable. Ananta's stylish trailer lacks gameplay footage, giving the competitor a potential advantage in the eyes of some. However, Ananta's visual appeal is undeniable.

A Curious Social Media Strategy

Adding to the intrigue, the development team has deleted all their original social media accounts, including a YouTube channel boasting over 100,000 subscribers and millions of video views. Only their Discord server remains, simply renamed to reflect the game's new title. This unusual decision has left many gamers perplexed.

Infinite Triggers and Paranormal Chaos

In Ananta, players embody an Infinite Trigger, a supernatural investigator confronting paranormal threats. The cast includes intriguing characters such as Taffy, Bansy, Alan, Mechanika, and Dila. Visit the official website for further details on gameplay mechanics.
