ANANTA Field Guide Unofficial English guide

Unofficial field notes · updated 25 October 2026

ANANTA, before the city opens.

A working guide to Nova City and Chongxiao: how the combat loop reads in playtests, what the identity system changes, and which pre-launch claims do not survive checking.

  • Release 15 Jan 2027
  • Platforms PC · PS5 · Mobile
  • Model Free to play
  • Characters No gacha

Every page separates four levels of evidence: official statements, playtest observations, community testing, and unconfirmed rumour. If a number is not published, we say so instead of inventing one.

Start here

Three pages before launch day

If you read only three pages before launch, make them these: the date, the rewards you can still claim, and a first-hour plan that owes nothing to a tier list.

Combat

Fights are improvised, not rotated

Two buttons, a parry window, and whatever is lying in the street. The skill expression sits in timing and positioning, not in a cooldown bar.

World

One sky, two very different cities

Nova City sells speed and neon. Chongxiao sells tea, alleyways, and a slower kind of trouble. The same movement system reads differently in each.

Characters

Nine names, five vaulted, zero skill lists

The roster is real. The build guides are not. What the official pages and the demo actually support:

Systems

You level up by doing the job

Identities are separate careers with their own progress. Fame is the experience bar, and the city is the quest log.

Tech

Specs, money, and the co-op question

Steam's own fields are the strongest evidence here, even when the store contradicts itself.
