Confirmed Playable
Ananta Characters
Four characters are confirmed playable for ANANTA's launch: the Captain, Taffy, Richie and Seymour. Every one of them is unlocked by playing — there is no character gacha. Below is what is officially confirmed and what is still unknown.
Captain
The Captain is the ANANTA main character and the A.C.D. task force lead. Balanced melee kit, environmental weapons, and the hub for mid-mission character switching.
Taffy
Taffy is ANANTA rabbit-eared delivery courier and Yeet Squad leader. Her mallet transforms into a rideable bike, making her the fastest traversal character confirmed.
Richie
Richie is the ANANTA A.C.D. enforcer — a close-quarters brawler built around sustained combo pressure who levels by issuing tickets and making arrests.
Seymour
Seymour is the masked hacker of ANANTA, operating from a mobile RV. His kit is built on signal tracking and gadgets — outmanoeuvring targets rather than overpowering them.
Ananta Codes
There are currently no ANANTA redeem codes. The game launches on January 15, 2027, and no codes have been published by Naked Rain or NetEase Games. We will not list codes we cannot verify.
