Remember Project Mugen, the anticipated urban open-world RPG from Naked Rain and NetEase? It's had a name change! Now called Ananta, this RPG, initially announced at Gamescom 2023, has finally unveiled a new trailer after a long silence. More details are promised on December 5th, but for now, check out the official trailer:

Why the Name Change?

The developers haven't yet commented on the shift from Project Mugen to Ananta. Interestingly, Ananta means "infinite" in Sanskrit, mirroring the meaning of Mugen. The Chinese title reinforces this thematic consistency.

The gaming community is divided on the name change, but universally relieved the project hasn't been cancelled. Comparisons are already being drawn between Ananta and Hotta Studio's upcoming RPG, Neverness to Everness. While Ananta's trailer is visually striking, its lack of gameplay footage gives Neverness to Everness a current edge in many players' eyes. Personally, I find Ananta's visuals more appealing.

A Curious Twist

Here's where things get intriguing: the Project Mugen team deleted all their original social media accounts, including a YouTube channel boasting over 100,000 subscribers and millions of views. They retained and renamed their Discord server, but otherwise, it's a fresh start across all other platforms. This unexpected move has left many gamers puzzled, as a simple renaming of existing accounts would have seemed a more logical approach.

In Ananta, you play as an Infinite Trigger, a supernatural investigator tackling paranormal chaos. The game features characters like Taffy, Bansy, Alan, Mechanika, and Dila.
