Revision 3

Ananta has not yet launched globally. This page includes details from official posts, developer interviews, hands-on previews, and the January 2026 Closed Beta Test as of February 16, 2026.

ANANTA does not use gacha mechanics for characters. This was confirmed through multiple outlets covering Famitsu interviews with the developers at TGS 2025, and reinforced by the January 2026 CBT. All characters are earned through gameplay.

How you unlock characters

• Story progression characters join your roster as you advance through the narrative. The Captain starts solo and recruits Taffy early on.

• Open-world discovery characters can be encountered while exploring Nova City. They follow daily routines through the city life system, enabling natural encounters based on location and time of day.

What costs money

Revenue comes from cosmetic purchases: outfits, vehicle skins, and housing furniture. There is a cosmetic gacha for outfits and accessories, but not for characters themselves. See Cosmetic Monetization for details.
