The highly anticipated anime-style game ‘ANANTA’ from Naked Rain Studio has finally received an official release date of January 15 next year, as confirmed by NetEase during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live.
With the game set to launch in Korea alongside its global service, media representatives from various countries gathered at Gamescom in Germany to get a sneak peek and play the game ahead of time.
