Chongxiao Takes the Spotlight

The new story trailer reveals Chongxiao, Ananta’s second major city.

Inspired by real metropolises like Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Tokyo, Ananta’s cities will feature their own cultures, atmospheres, and challenges. Players can visit cinemas, mahjong parlors, arcades, cat cafés, maid cafés, gyms, restaurants, clothing stores, open-air hot springs, and more.

Go Viral, Save the City

Ananta centers on the idea of going viral to save the city.

Players take on the role of an influencer in a modern urban setting shaped by algorithms, social attention, and online culture. Missions, city events, and sudden crises can help players build a reputation, grow social influence, gain resources, and unlock influencer perks.

Build the A.C.D. Team

Players can recruit agents to rebuild the A.C.D. team and switch between playable characters.

Each character brings a different viewpoint, story path, and approach to movement and combat. Players can also step into roles such as NCCA officer, hacker, delivery rider, and content creator, opening new ways to interact with the city.

Movement and Combat Stay Flexible

Ananta follows a “go where you can see” approach to traversal.

Players can travel by car, motorcycle, helicopter, yacht, subway, hang glider, and other methods. Combat leans on martial arts and interactive environments, letting players turn ordinary objects into weapons during fights.
