Cosmetic Monetization

Category：Game Systems

ANANTA uses a cosmetic-only model: there is no character banner, characters unlock free through the story and world exploration, and payments focus on outfit skins, vehicle livery and home decor without changing combat stats. Whether a pass exists and whether cosmetics can be rolled await official confirmation. Officials additionally stated in a September 2026 TapTap newsflash that no skins or cosmetics will be pre-sold before launch (“prove you’re a player, then open your wallet”); the “Wanxiang ticket” premium currency and monthly-pass claims now circulating come only from single forum leak posts with no official source, so we keep them flagged as to-be-confirmed and publish no prices or exchange rates.

ANANTA runs on a “cosmetic-only” business model. On September 15, 2026, Tencent News, Netease Hao, 17173, Sohu, Sina Finance and English outlets such as Escapist and Beebom relayed the official stance: there is no character banner at all, every playable character unlocks free through the main story and world exploration, and payments are concentrated on appearance items—outfit skins, vehicle livery and home decor—paired with a Shared Wardrobe that lowers repeat cost, without changing combat stats. Whether a battle pass or monthly pass exists, and whether cosmetics can be obtained through a gacha roll, have not been announced and remain to be confirmed.

Related Terms

  • Game Publishing License (Ban Hao) ANANTA's game publishing license (ban hao) was approved in December 2024. It is the compliance prerequisite for officially operating and charging in mainland China, and it directly contradicts the 'cancelled' rumors. A license settles compliance to publish, not a specific beta date; the global launch follows the official January 15, 2027 date.
  • DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is NVIDIA's AI image reconstruction and frame generation technology for RTX GPUs: it upscales lower-resolution frames to a higher output and adds frames, holding frame rates under heavy loads like ray tracing. Official ANANTA line: DLSS 4 is confirmed on PC at launch, and the Aug 27, 2026 announcement adds that DLSS 4.5 (super resolution + dynamic multi-frame generation) will follow; its timing is unannounced and to be confirmed. Use this page for "ANANTA PC requirements" and "ANANTA DLSS"; DLSS underwrites the GTX 1060 minimum tier's floor, while the recommended RTX 3080 pairs ray tracing with high frame rates.
  • Tokyo Game Show (TGS) Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is a major annual expo held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. For ANANTA it marks exhibition cadence: TGS2025 had a public playtest booth, while at TGS2026 NetEase / Naked Rain were off the exhibitor list and Chinese majors were absent from the consumer hall, so ANANTA had no public booth. TGS2026 lost its Sep 21 final day to Typhoon No. 25 'Dujuan', with 257,642 admissions over the four days held. Skipping one show is not slowed development — the date, license and monetization were already announced.
  • PvP Mode Ananta has confirmed it will include player-versus-player (PvP) mode. Unlike the purely PvE main story and rift exploration, PvP mode allows direct combat between players. Specific rules, arena formats, and reward systems are yet to be announced by the official team. This mode adds competitive depth and long-term engagement.
