All the key details about 'anime GTA' game Ananta

Ananta is set to release on January 15, 2027 for PC, PS5, and mobile platforms, including Steam and a separate launcher. Ananta does not offer an open beta, but pre-registration for the game is currently open on its official website. Players will receive unusual currency rewards upon registration, and it's possible that these rewards will be distributed to all players upon launch.

Ananta is an urban open-world RPG with anime-inspired elements, borrowing influences from games like GTA, Batman Arkham, Sleeping Dogs, Uncharted, and Spider-Man. The game features a dual-city setting, Nova City resembling Tokyo and Chongxiao resembling Hangzhou. Gameplay involves a mix of melee combat, parkour, and various activities such as racing, dating, arcade mini-games, and interacting with other players in a GTA-style character-switching system.

Ananta is not a gacha game, as its characters are all free to obtain through gameplay. The game offers a wide range of open-world activities and features, though it remains to be seen if this variety will be successful or merely feel like a chaotic mix of elements.
