Ananta finally gets a release date, and this anime GTA is coming in 2027
Naked Rain’s trailer confirms the open-world RPG’s global launch and adds a second city as the game heads to PS5, PC and mobile.
- During Gamescom Opening Night Live on Tuesday, August 25, developer Naked Rain confirmed Ananta's January 15, 2027 global launch, unveiling a new story trailer and gameplay footage.
- An unverified image had surfaced on Chinese social media platform Bilibili days earlier claiming the same January 15, 2027 release date, though the leak remained unconfirmed until the official announcement.
- The story centers on a supernatural investigator exploring two distinct cities—Nova City and Chongxiao's Lingyun City—with mini-games, aerial traversal, and gameplay blending anime aesthetics with Grand Theft Auto-style urban exploration.
- Ananta will launch as a free-to-play title on PS5, PC, and mobile platforms with cosmetic-focused monetization, arriving months after Grand Theft Auto 6 as an alternative open-world experience.
- Most players appear optimistic about the 2027 launch as NetEase reportedly invests heavily into Ananta, while CD Projekt Red delays The Witcher 4 to 2028 and skips Gamescom this year.
