As the highly anticipated open-world RPG Ananta nears completion, fans prepare for a potential 2027 release.
Ananta is a bold new open-world RPG that has gotten a lot of attention around the world since its first gameplay demo. The makers have recently confirmed that the project is now 60-70% complete. This gives fans hope and a reason to be patient as the team continues to improve the game’s complex systems and graphics.
The Ananta News Twitter account reports that development teams on-site have confirmed the progress, indicating that the game is still some time away from being fully released. Initially, people thought the launch would occur sometime between the middle and the end of 2026. Now, many people think a release window in 2027 is much more likely.
It takes time to be ambitious, and Ananta seems to be cooking just right.
Since the game is still in development, open beta testing could begin as early as next year. Developers are reportedly preparing for internal tests and possibly open trials over the weekend to ensure the servers are stable and the gameplay is flawless before the release.
Talk has even turned to how the release of Ananta could align with the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is reportedly delayed past May 2026. If both games come out in the same year, people will naturally compare the two open-world games, but Ananta’s makers don’t seem to mind.
Analysts suggest that Ananta’s free-to-play model may even work in its favor, as GTA VI is expected to have higher prices. Fans already believe that releasing Ananta close to GTA VI might help it garner more attention, rather than hurting it, because the two games have very different tones, world designs, and levels of difficulty.
15 million pre-registrations around the world for the game are one of the most impressive accomplishments. To give you an idea, most big games enjoy reaching one or two million copies before they even come out. Ananta’s numbers are the highest ever for a game that may not be released for another year or more.
This success before the game’s release demonstrates how much people are looking forward to it and the pressure on the developers to meet expectations. The end product’s depth and polish remain unknown, but the current engagement metrics indicate that people around the world are becoming increasingly excited about it.
There is still hope, despite the long wait. The game has been discussed on PlayStation’s main social media channels, and each new post showcases significant progress. Even though changes don’t come out very often, the ones that do come out always make big improvements in detail and gameplay.
For now, it appears that the developers will focus on the project instead of rushing to complete it by some arbitrary deadline. This approach is one that many people in the industry agree is the right choice for a game of this size.
Ananta has the potential to become one of the few free-to-play games that can compete with big-budget games.
Ananta could change what people think about big online RPGs with its bold world design, next-gen graphics, and free-to-play model. It might be able to compete with or even beat high-end games from big studios if the final version lives up to what it promises to be.
Still, the game’s servers, balance, and microtransaction system will need to be carefully managed by the developers to keep players trusting the game and staying interested in it over time.
The next year could be crucial for Ananta’s future, as fans await more updates on the game’s gameplay and possibly even the first test stages that can be played.
