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 22, 2026. Very limited official information is available about the weather system. This page will be expanded as more details are confirmed.
Overview
Ananta includes dynamic weather changes as part of its environmental systems in Nova City. Weather operates alongside the day-night cycle and the game's district-based world streaming to create variety in the city's atmosphere. Developer descriptions have stated that the weather system is designed to make the world "feel real and unpredictable."
What is confirmed
Dynamic weather exists and changes over time during gameplay. It has been visible in trailers and gameplay footage, and developers have referenced it as one of several systems contributing to Nova City's sense of a living world. Beyond that, specific details are sparse.
What is not confirmed
The following aspects of the weather system have not been addressed in official communications, developer interviews, or CBT1 coverage:
Specific weather types: Whether the game features rain, snow, thunderstorms, fog, wind, or other distinct weather conditions has not been individually enumerated.
Gameplay effects: Whether different weather conditions affect combat, traversal (e.g., slippery surfaces), or NPC behavior in ways beyond visual changes is unknown.
Regional variation: Whether weather differs by district (coastal areas getting rain while inland districts stay dry, for example) or is applied globally across the city is unclear.
Player control: There is no indication that players can influence or trigger weather changes.
Related systems
The weather system is closely tied to the day-night cycle. Together, these two systems determine the moment-to-moment visual and atmospheric state of Nova City at any given time. For information on how NPC schedules change with the time of day (independent of weather), see the day-night cycle page.
