"There's the saying, "good artists copy, great ones steal." And then there's whatever Ananta is doing. The upcoming open-world RPG from NetEase developer Naked Rain is going viral again thanks to new footage from Tokyo Game Show 2025. While it might look like the latest round of Genshin Impact-inspired mobile anime slop, the developer has confirmed it won't be relying on exploitative gambling mechanics to earn its keep. It will, however, be ripping off Spider-Man in every way it can."
"Naked Rain is promising multi-level exploration from the ground-level streets to city rooftops, as well as interiors you can explore at different elevations. There are vehicles you can get in and drive, weapons you can pick up off the ground, from guns to golf clubs, and NPCs who will supposedly react to whatever chaos you're causing while out exploring. "Every choice ripples through the life of the city," the developers write. We'll see."
Ananta is an upcoming open-world mobile RPG from Naked Rain with multi-level urban exploration, interior traversal, vehicles, and purchasable weapons. The game blends mechanics from Grand Theft Auto, Spider-Man, Watch Dogs, Sifu, and other titles, including web-swinging, martial arts combat, and smartphone hacking minigames. Naked Rain confirmed the game will not rely on exploitative gambling monetization. NPCs will react to player-caused chaos and the game promises choices that affect the city's life. The trailer shows seven minutes of gameplay demonstrating exploration, combat, driving, and social interactions in a dense city playground designed for mobile performance.
