Content expansion (2026-04-13)
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 April 2026.
Ringo is a character featured in Ananta, NetEase and Naked Rain's upcoming urban open-world RPG set in Nova City. She was one of the earliest characters revealed alongside the transition from Project Mugen to Ananta. Her profile page, however, was pulled from the official site in a September 23, 2025 update, leaving her current playable status uncertain.
According to the bio that previously appeared on the official Ananta website (archived by the community Ananta Wiki and by the Project Mugen Fandom), Ringo is a lively high schooler. She balances school life with work as a liaison for the D.P.A., an organization separate from the Anti-Chaos Directorate that the player's Captain leads. The bio frames her as the kind of contact a task force might ping for urgent coordination. The name Ringo is the Japanese word for apple, and whether it is her real name or a handle is not clarified in any official material.
Outside of her D.P.A. work Ringo is pitched as a modern teenager. Her profile describes her as an emoji enthusiast who peppers her messages with icons, and she spends her weekends hitting the shopping district and picking up pudding from Dream Garden. The Dream Garden tie-in is one of the few concrete threads that connects her to named locations in Nova City.
Ringo appears in the Ananta announcement trailer at roughly the thirty-second mark, where she is shown playing volleyball. This is a brief cutaway moment rather than a combat shot, and it matches the trailer's overall approach of sampling slice-of-life activities scattered across Nova City between action beats. No later trailer or gameplay preview has featured her in an expanded role. The TGS 2025 gameplay showcase focused instead on Taffy, Richie, and Seymour alongside the Captain.
In a site update on September 23, 2025, a number of character bios were removed from anantagame.com, Ringo's among them. The removal aligned with Naked Rain's pivot toward the TGS 2025 gameplay reveal and the final CBT1 roster. Several Project Mugen era characters were affected by the same pass: coverage from Pocket Tactics and Six Storeys list her alongside other legacy names whose status was downgraded at the same time. There has been no official statement confirming whether these bios will return in a modified form or whether the characters have been cut. As of the January 2026 Closed Beta Test, Ringo was not among the four playable characters confirmed in the build (Captain, Taffy, Richie, Seymour).

No verified information exists about Ringo's combat style, preferred weapon, or whether she will be part of the eventual playable roster at launch. Early fan discussion in the Project Mugen era speculated that she might have sports-themed abilities based on the volleyball cameo, but nothing in official materials confirms this. Her exact age, voice actor, and any story beats beyond the D.P.A. tie-in are also undocumented.
