For some time now the video game Ananta (formerly known as Project Mugen) is giving something to talk about on the networks. What left many shocked is the great variety of aspects that make their gameplay. From a fully explorable world, real-time combat, driving and using a gadget to swing between buildings, the title did not go unnoticed. And although several of these mechanics are present in other games, many users are accusing him of copying large franchises. From Grand Theft Auto until Spider-Man They have been named, thus starting the debate on the networks.

How do these gacha games get away with straight up ripping off Spider-Man, not saying swinging mechanics shouldn't be done but these are literally the Spider-Man 2 animations 😭pic.twitter.com/1ZzSeQMYbM
Although it has been known for a while, in recent days the video game Ananta It has been on everyone’s lips on the networks. Not because of the novelties taught, but rather thousands of users were impacted by knowing the mechanics that are part of its gameplay. And although this title would stand out for an anime aesthetic that recalls gacha titles as Genshin Impact or Zenless Zone Zero, their mechanics took all the lights. The game that promises an open world like the saga Grand Theft Auto And even hacks like in Watch Dogs It’s in the eye of the storm, so it would be a blatant plagiarism.
East paperclip Uploaded by a user was the one who gave the most to talk about. In it we see one of the many anime-style characters from Ananta swinging around the city, very much in the style Spider-Man. More precisely those that many remembered were the titles of Marvel Spider-Man. This can be seen in the chosen animations, which are not only very similar, but also have more than obvious similarities. A user also shared this VIDEO in which another of the plagiarized mechanics is seen, in this case taken directly from GTA V, with its character selector, which has even the same animation when changing scenery:

What is Ananta about?
Ananta It is an urban open world action RPG developed by Naked Rain, a studio supported by NetEase Games. It features an anime aesthetic with futuristic environments full of supernatural anomalies and chaotic creatures. The player plays an Infinite Trigger, a member of the A.C.D., an organization dedicated to combating the force known as Chaos. The gameplay stands out for fluid mobility, with parkour, balance between buildings, driving of vehicles and free exploration. The world offers live NPCs, secondary activities, dynamic missions and great interaction. Each playable character has unique abilities, being able to alternate between four in full battle.
One of the most striking aspects is that it will not have a gacha system, something unusual in titles of this type. All characters can be unlocked by playing, while monetization will focus on aesthetic customization such as clothing, vehicles, or expressions. It was announced at Gamescom 2023 under the name Project Mugen, switching to Ananta In 2024. It does not yet have a confirmed release date, but is expected in 2026. A playable demo will be available at the Tokyo Game Show 2025. This game promises to be a revolutionary proposal within urban RPGs.
