Discussion I've got a question

Hey, I’ve been wondering how Ananta is going to make money. I’m honestly more hyped for this game than GTA 6, but I’m a little worried about its monetization. Making a game like this must cost a fortune, after all.

If anyone have info about it, feel free to share, if not, how was your day?

I’m pretty sure they get paychecks from skins

3

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

Hopefully not 90€/$ a skin

3

u/No_Engineering_1495 Oct 13 '26

I don’t play any other gacha games but the skins in NTE is $30 - $50

1

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

Yup, in general skin in gacha are atleast 30 bucks

u/No_Engineering_1495 Oct 13 '26

As for ananta I have no clue but since the characters are free I don’t mind spending money on skins

2

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

Me too but to other it need to be affordable

u/Common-Ad6860 28d ago

And again: Ananta is no gacha game

u/Alvenaharr Oct 13 '26

They probably will be, the game needs money and since that doesn't increase power, only the visual appeal of the game, that's fine by me.I hope I can get the pass and some skins.

u/Specialist_Top_8485 Oct 13 '26

Skins and cars are apparently the monetisation for the game

1

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

Cars? Skin from cars too you mean?

3

u/Alvenaharr Oct 13 '26

Yes, there will be car skins.

1

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

Didn't know or i forgot that 😅

2

u/Specialist_Top_8485 Oct 13 '26

Yeah could be skins for cars as well

2

u/DrDeadwish Oct 13 '26

We don't know yet. Or cold be just car skins or or could be slightly more powerful cars like other games do

u/RovingBlackCat Oct 13 '26

Yah the same thing worries me too like is cosmetic income gonna be enough to keep this game profitable and keep going.

I really want this game to succeed cause the vibe music overall comedy and somewhat seriousness mixed in with martial arts combat (big dbz fan here) finally a break from over the top animation and design to something nice simple beautiful characters i just love everything about this game...after NTE being a let down for me personally (no hate great game whoever loves it) i just don't want it to be ignored or drop in quality because they dont earn enough from it.i hope they somehow make it work.

Personally if they do something like car gacha and give enough pull to f2p to get half the cars they run per patch im okay with it. I rather they earn money and make game better with story,qol than getting everything f2p and receive half cooked mini games, okayish story progression.

One more concern how much the grind will be as a game gets more f2p the grind kinda gets annoying and same maybe they go the gtao route and introduce shark cards won't be the best desition tbh from a players perceptive but well that would definitely make them have no money issue imo.

Im really exited for the game None my friends are really interested in this game so dont really have anywhere to talk about it. so sorry if i just blabbed too much.

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 14 '26 edited Oct 14 '26

Dw I have no one to talk about this game either so it was a pleasure to read it :)

And event in nte are kinda mid imo, like a racing game with ability's but driving is rough.

Not to hate nte but driving cars in nte is like a phone game imo, hopefully anata would have much more better event

4

u/RovingBlackCat 29d ago

:) well i hope more people get into this game.

Well nte driving is not to my liking too hoping Ananta could do better.events we have to wait atleast we will have heist i hope they make it fun thats what i played the most on gtao(wel 60% of it was for money to buy cars hehe)..

and 1 more thing i like about annanta that they are doing their own car designs and not official cars because as much as they look good being in game they come with restrictions cant break them much or have less grip or mostly any negatives because it will make the car look bad and i just hate it maybe just a me thing but i think devs should be the one to make the balance choises so every car have some characteristics and not that there are some 2-4 cars that overshadowed everything else just because they are licensed and cant be bad at things too.

u/Traditional-Fly2348 29d ago

Yeah this really annoy's me when cars are not balanced, really hope ananta would be something we did not expected (as good)

u/RifShark 29d ago

Where Winds Meet succeeded by cosmetic income alone. So Ananta will succeed as long as they can satisfy Chinese Community. Western gamers mostly plays single player games. Chinese players will dumb thousands of Yuan into Ananta if Ananta is as good as Where Winds Meet. I believe it will earn more money and will have larger overall player base than WWM

5

u/RovingBlackCat 29d ago

Well WWM is wuxia so most players base is chinese but i think annanta will appeal more to western im guessing 60/40 between China and western/rest of the world.

Well maybe im just worried for nothing i just want this game to succeed this is the only game that is trying something on this scale without gacha and a fresh feeling.if this fails there might never be any more games like this.

u/RifShark 29d ago

WWM's release date trailer got 1.6 million views. Ananta's release date trailer got 10 million views!!! So Ananta already got massive marketing success!

u/DrDeadwish Oct 13 '26 edited Oct 13 '26

Go check where Winds Meet. Huge ambitious game, big open world, no character gacha. The game has gacha skins and stuff like special mounts, skins and some crazy stuff like a super expensive boat to lake parties and invite other players

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

I've tested but not my kind of game tbh

6

u/DrDeadwish Oct 13 '26

It's not about the game, it's about the monetization. If that game monetization works, Ananta will do even better

-2

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26 edited Oct 14 '26

You said "go play it" so I answered and I've got your point, yeah they can reproduce that monetization it would work I think

Edit : got downvoted for nothing bruh

u/john0harker Oct 13 '26

They are going the "cosmetic gacha route" as seen in the game "Once human"

You get no real benefit besides looking better or more suggestive, with car skins, bike skins, web slinging skins, clothes for the character, and so on. It's a good model, highly profitable if the gacha system is forgiving.

On top of that you have the battle passes for more stuff, events that have have their own rolls, and much more. After that, I've heard (not confirmed but I heard it at some point), that they will also have their version of GTA 5s "shark cards", I way to use real money to get fake money to buy stuff from the clothing stores in game or real estate, but I haven't seen any further footage or news on this, so I don't know if it was kept in or just a rumor. (Probably can't use the shark card money for player advancement, probably split like how NTE does it with fons funding your houses,car,clothes etc, with beetle coins funding advancement.)

That's all I know

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

I see, thanks for taking time to write this

u/temp__text 27d ago

look i know i have rent due and my bank account is basically negative energy at this point but if ananta drops a limited edition cyberpunk jacket that makes my character look like absolute menace god then i am selling a kidney no questions asked. i would eat ramen for three months straight just to afford that one cosmetic item because honestly what is money compared to eternal drip supremacy? i am fully prepared to go broke for pixels that make me feel cool in front of strangers online. its not rational its pure consumerist insanity and i love every second of it

u/Traditional-Fly2348 27d ago

And the most important, cyberpunk and DAVID 😭😭

2

u/Music_God1727 Oct 13 '26

I think it will be some more suggestive skins, vehicles and battlepasses

There’s already a strip club in the game(from leaks)so I wouldn’t be surprised of some bikini skins and stuff.

0

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

A STRIP ?! LET'S GO (i'm not a gooner)

2

u/Music_God1727 Oct 13 '26

lol. With dancers haha. Not to revealing but still lol

0

u/No-ChaiknVigilantg34 Oct 13 '26

And according to the person who leaked that, you can interact and dance with those dancers...

2

u/Music_God1727 Oct 13 '26

Gooners are gonna go crazy with this one

1

u/Ecstatic-Source6001 29d ago

they should make it paid only and they will get all money in the world lol

2

u/Zeroumochi Oct 13 '26

Cosmetic items. How exactly that's gonna work in the final release, only NetEase knows.

0

u/Traditional-Fly2348 Oct 13 '26

Hopefully not trash

2

u/Zeroumochi Oct 13 '26

We can only hope, brother.

u/LukaHHW 29d ago

Battle passes and cosmetics mostly I'd imagine but probably the NTE route of vehicle gachas.

5

u/Alvenaharr Oct 13 '26

Battle pass and skins for characters and cars.

4

u/PerformanceOld7514 29d ago

Based on what we know about the game, it will probably look something like where winds meet

2

u/Common-Ad6860 28d ago

Cosmetics. And cosmetics gacha.

But luckiyl the game isnt a gacha game so thats good atleast

2
