Mission Mugen was revealed again in 2023 as an open-world fantasy RPG about folks with superpowers investigating unusual anomalies that threaten their city paradise. Assume Genshin Influence in Manhattan with Spider-Man-like traversal. On Thursday, it obtained one other incredible-looking trailer and a brand new title.
Mission Mugen will now be referred to as Ananta when it launches on PlayStation 5, PS4, PC, and cellular someday sooner or later. It continues to look attractive. At first-glance it’d really feel indistinguishable from miHoYo’s Honkai: Star Rail and the current inflow of different anime-styled, big-budget gacha RPGs, however even when it appears like simply “one other a type of,” it appears like a rattling good one.
In-between operating down X-Information-like supernatural occurrences and preventing monsters, there’s aerial platforming, road races, and tons of mini-games. The sport’s builders at NetEase and Bare Rain are promising a mixture of kung-fu film motion and on a regular basis metropolis socializing. At present’s trailer additionally kicks off pre-registration for the sport, which I’m guessing may have a few closed and open betas between now and launch.
In the end, nonetheless, it received’t matter how good Ananta appears and feels if its neat world and funky designs are in service of an all-consuming gacha grind, which appears to be the best way of all huge free-to-play blockbuster RPGs in the meanwhile. Honkai: Star Rail, which appears very related in numerous methods, is an effective recreation so long as you don’t thoughts consistently auto-battling via hordes of enemies to refill all of the meters you want with the intention to truly have interaction with its development.
We’ll discover out the place within the grind vs. microtransaction RNG spectrum Ananta falls when it lastly arrives, which hopefully can be pretty quickly.
