According to the game’s official LINE description, Project Mugen is a “main city-themed open world RPG” that is currently being developed by Naked Rain Studio. Here are some of the key features that will be present in the free to play title:

Key features

  • Urban, Open-World Setting: Explore a vast map that delivers a rich city life experience. From neon-lit nightlife to serene parks, every corner of the city holds a story. Engage in open exploration, scaling skyscrapers, diving into subways, and interacting with a dynamic environment that reacts to your every move.
  • Unique Combat Experience: Engage in team-based combat with four characters, each having different attributes that synergize with each other. Utilize environmental objects in battle and make use of the urban terrain to deal with monsters in various ways.
  • Captivating Artistic Style: Project Mugen is more than a game; it’s a visual journey. The art direction, a blend of modern aesthetics with ethereal touches, promises to captivate players at every turn.
  • Fast-Paced Traversal and Vehicles: Every character has a basic movement skill such as parkour, swinging, or wall-climbing. Some characters also have a unique travel ability based on their individual identity, like riding a special war hammer. Players can also intercept and ride vehicles like cars in the city.

While the official website doesn’t include that much information, a two-minute gameplay video of the game has been released.

During the video, we can see a character unleashing some flashy attacks on their opponent, while also using parkour and a grappling hook to traverse buildings. It’s certainly not hard to see why commenters have been labeling Project Mugen as “anime GTA”.

Of course, we’ll update this hub as soon as further information is available, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back regularly for updates.
