11 Delirium BlockCityNova CityTypeDistrict / areaStatusReferenced in pre-launch materials; detailed coverage pending
22 Delirium Block is listed as a named district within Nova Citythe primary setting of Ananta. It is one of several named areas referenced in pre-launch coverage of the city's district layout, though it has received noticeably less detailed treatment than some of its neighbors. Beyond the name and its status as a Nova City district, no official post has described what happens at Delirium Block, what gameplay activities it hosts, or which characters operate there.

45 Overview
56  
67 Nova City is built as a single seamless open world with a Japanese urban-design influence, described by NetEase as comparable in size to Manhattan. It is divided into more than ten distinct areas that include business districts, beaches, amusement parks, factories, artistic quarters, and residential zones. Delirium Block is one of the named entries in this district list, alongside better-documented areas such as Paradox Plaza (street surfing), Glimmergold (gaming sessions), the Sonic Boom Club, the Whalebone Library, the Eve Gallery, and the Dream Garden.

89 The city is engineered as a three-tier environment: accessible rooftops, mid-level interiors, and ground floor. Every district, Delirium Block included, is designed so that the Captain and teammates can traverse it vertically, not just along the street. Without a named gameplay hook like Glimmergold's arcade activities or Paradox Plaza's surf culture, Delirium Block's identity within this framework is still undefined in public materials.

1011 What is Confirmed

1213 Delirium Block is named as one of the districts within Nova City in pre-launch coverage of the city's layout.It sits inside Nova Inception Urbs, the official in-universe name for Nova City. This means it follows the same Japanese-urban architectural style and seamless open-world design as the rest of the city.As a district of Nova City, Delirium Block falls within the jurisdiction of the A.C.D. task force, which handles the city-wide response to Chaos incidents.The city's three-layer vertical design (rooftops, mid-level interiors, ground floor) applies here by default. Players can expect the district to support parkour, wall-running, and grapple-based traversal like any other part of Nova City.

1415 What is Not yet Detailed
1516  
1617 Where Ananta has gone into detail about districts like Paradox Plaza and Glimmergold, either naming the street-surfing or gaming-session activities associated with them, the same depth is not yet available for Delirium Block. Outstanding questions include:
1718  
1819 What the signature activity of Delirium Block is, if any. Other Nova City areas are consistently tied to a specific vibe (gaming, art, music, libraries, cafes). Delirium Block's theme has not been publicly disclosed.Which NPCs, side characters, or playable characters use it as a base. Taffy's delivery routes, Seymour's mobile RV, and Aileen's Dream Garden all have known geographic anchors, but nothing has tied a specific character to Delirium Block.Its visual identity. Nova City's district diversity is emphasized in NetEase marketing (business districts, residential areas, artistic quarters, industrial zones), but Delirium Block has not been singled out in any trailer breakdown available as of early 2026.Story missions that take place there. Pre-launch coverage mentions ACD missions cycle through the districts, but no specific Delirium Block quest has been named.

2728 Although the specifics of Delirium Block are still thin, Ananta's general gameplay model tells players what to expect from any Nova City district on launch:
2829  
2930 A 24-hour NPC cycle where non-player characters follow realistic daily routines, regardless of district.Open interiors, with rooftops, mid-levels, and street floors all walkable and part of the quest flow.Freeform combat that leverages environmental props (chairs, trash cans, vehicles) rather than prescribed arena spaces.Chaos events that can appear anywhere in the city, pulling the ACD task force, including Seymour and Taffyinto that district.
