7 Sep
Summary
- Ananta will feature two massive maps: Nova City and Chongxiao.
- Chongxiao is inspired by Shanghai and Hangzhou, China.
- The game is set to launch on January 15, 2027.
Ananta, a free-to-play open-world adventure, revealed its second expansive map, Chongxiao, during Gamescom 2026. This new trailer showcased a futuristic metropolis inspired by the Chinese cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou.
Chongxiao is described as larger than the first map, Nova City, offering advanced technology and rich cultural content. Nova City, in contrast, features a more modern, entertainment-driven atmosphere with a livelier energy. Both maps provide distinct identities, stories, and atmospheres for players.
Developers based Chongxiao's visuals on Shanghai and Hangzhou, incorporating landmarks like a skyscraper resembling Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower and Weilan Lake, modeled after Hangzhou's West Lake. The game aims to blend real-world inspirations with its unique IP and narrative needs.
Ananta is set to launch on January 15, 2027, for PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile platforms. The game promises a wide array of activities, from driving and combat to unique city-specific experiences like boating on Weilan Lake.
