The Black Metal Rhythmists are a gang from the Tokyo Game Show 2025 demo that spreads violence across Nova City, according to GamesRadar’s hands-on report. NetEase doesn’t describe it on the official site.

In the TGS demo the player fights the gang, then chases it by car, according to GamesRadar. The Captain’s official bio mentions gangs of rock ’n’ roll fanatics on the ACD’s tail; the link to this gang is our guess, and NetEase hasn’t made it.
Nova City is the first city of ANANTA and the place where the story begins: a coastal metropolis with a lively, sometimes chaotic entertainment culture. It was the first map the team built.
The ACD (Anti-Chaos Directorate) is the task force the Captain leads. It handles Chaos incidents but is close to collapse, and rebuilding it by recruiting new agents runs through the whole story.
Combat in ANANTA draws on martial arts and action films: dodges, blocks and counters, enemy weapons you can grab, and street props like golf clubs and trash bins. Every character can also pull objects with telekinesis.
