SEARCH QUESTIONS / 10
Questions players actually ask.
Direct answers, with the evidence level stated rather than implied.
01Has ANANTA announced a release date?+
ANANTA is not released yet. The official site now lists a global release on January 15, 2027, with pre-registration open. Older pages that say no date was announced are historical and should not be used as the current status.
02Where does this site get its ANANTA news?+
Primary sources are NetEase Games briefings and official ANANTA announcements. Developer interviews and TGS hands-on reporting are used as secondary observation and labelled as such. Community claims are excluded unless independently confirmed.
03Is ANANTA still in development?+
Yes. The project was introduced as Project Mugen in 2023, renamed ANANTA in late 2024, and showed a seven-minute gameplay briefing plus TGS media playtests in September 2025. It remains pre-launch, and systems shown in that material can still change.
