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.
Social media is woven into ANANTA's gameplay. Official trailer copy calls it a "secret weapon" used alongside combat and investigation. The in-game world has its own social media ecosystem where both the player and NPCs participate.
What is confirmed
Official copy describes social media as a "secret weapon"
The gameplay trailer mentions "blowing up on the internet" after dealing with a Chaos incident
Players can browse in-game social media on their character's phone
NPCs maintain active social feeds with messages and chat histories
Players can examine NPC phones to read messages and track accounts
How it connects to gameplay
The identity system mentions live-streaming as one of the character roles, which ties into the social media mechanic. Viral moments from combat, exploration, and daily activities appear to feed into reputation and progression. See City Life for the broader list of activities that might generate social media content.
What we don't know yet
Whether social media is a full progression system with follower counts and milestones, or more of a narrative flavor system that adds atmosphere. How it connects to rewards (cosmetics, story unlocks, reputation) is not fully detailed.
