ANANTA from NetEase to Debut Demo at Tokyo Game Show 2025 — Urban Open‑World Action RPG Coming to SEA

ANANTA to Be Featured with Playable Demo at Tokyo Game Show 2025

New Open‑World Action RPG from NetEase
NetEase is preparing to showcase ANANTA, previously known as Project Mugen, at Tokyo Game Show 2025. This action RPG is set in a sprawling urban open world and promises high energy, immersive gameplay. The SA/SEA region gamers will be especially interested since this is one of NetEase’s major titles being pushed in the console‑PC‑mobile frontier.
What the TGS Demo Will Include


Attendees at Tokyo Game Show will be able to try out two playable modes of ANANTA at the NetEase booth in Hall 6‑C06:
- Story Mode, which will highlight segments of the plot including a dramatic chase sequence through the streets of Nova City
- Exploration Mode, a smaller‑scale open world environment that lets players roam around, see the surroundings, and get a feel for what the world looks and plays like
Everyone who tries the demo will also receive a 3D collectible card as a special keepsake.
Setting, Theme & Features
In ANANTA you play as an agent of A.C.D., operating in Nova City, a large beach‑side metropolis scorched by intense sunshine but cooled by ocean breezes. The world has numerous districts such as Paradox Plaza, a spectacular landmark, and Glimmergold, a gaming district full of character. There are many side quests and exploration activities scattered across the city, giving players freedom to investigate, engage, and uncover secrets.
Platforms, Monetization & Release Format
ANANTA is planned for release as a free‑to‑play title across multiple platforms: PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android. This means players across Southeast Asia will be able to access it without an upfront cost, though monetization details are not fully disclosed yet. The cross‑platform nature puts it in line with modern trends of flexible gaming access.
Tokyo Game Show 2025: When & Where
Tokyo Game Show 2025 will take place from September 25 to 28 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. The first two days (September 25‑26) are for business visitors, while September 27‑28 are open to the public. NetEase’s ANANTA demo will be part of this major event, offering sneak peeks and hands‑on time ahead of launch.
Final Thought
ANANTA looks to be an exciting addition to the open‑world RPG genre in Southeast Asia. With its mix of story and exploration modes, beautiful urban environments, and accessibility across consoles and mobile, it has the potential to stand out. If the demo lives up to its promise and NetEase delivers smooth performance and meaningful content, this could become one of the season’s most anticipated games for SEA gamers.
