There's the saying, "good artists copy, great ones steal." And then there's whatever Ananta is doing. The upcoming open-world RPG from NetEase developer Naked Rain is going viral again thanks to new footage from Tokyo Game Show 2025. While it might look like the latest round of Genshin Impact-inspired mobile anime slop, the developer has confirmed it won't be relying on exploitative gambling mechanics to earn its keep. It will, however, be ripping off Spider-Man in every way it can.

I've played a lot of zombie games, and while I often enjoy them a great deal, rarely do I find myself stopping to gawk at the scenery. Setting a game like this in the Swiss Alps is fantastic. But even if this game was set in a much less pretty locale, I'd still be super into it as it feels like the culmination of a decade-plus of Techland making these kinds of RPG zombie adventures. Just don't pay too close attention to the main story.

The fully open-world anime brawler, NTE, developed by Hotta Studio, allows players to explore the near-future city of Hethereau, blending elements of Shanghai, Seoul, and Tokyo.
