Ananta, formerly Project Mugen, will launch January 15, 2027 for PC, PS5 and mobile, accessible via Steam or its own launcher. The game has not had an open beta and NetEase's live-service titles typically use closed private testing instead. Pre-registration is open on the official site and offers in-game currencies and an outfit as rewards. Recent trailers and hands-on footage show the playable Captain, their crew, the Nova City setting, and gacha-style systems and gameplay features.
