Co-op with friends

Co-op multiplayer in ANANTA is for playing with friends rather than an MMO-style crowd, producer Ash Qi says: you explore together and can take on harder missions as a group. Details are still to come.

What we know

In the IGN Japan interview Ash said ANANTA supports multiplayer in a closed format with friends; you can still play alone. He told Denfaminicogamer about a separate mode for taking on missions with friends in the open world.

Store pages disagree on the details: Steam lists online co-op, cross-platform multiplayer and MMO, while the PlayStation Store says one network player. NetEase hasn’t published the rules for co-op or cross-play.
