Ananta Hits January, Sea of Remnants Beta in December – NetEase's Gamescom Surprises

NetEase dropped big news at Gamescom 2026: Ananta launches in January, and Sea of Remnants enters beta in December. Here's what you need to know.
Missed the Gamescom Opening Night Live chaos? Don't worry – we've got you covered. NetEase just dropped some serious release date bombs for two of its most anticipated multiplayer RPGs, and you're going to want to clear your calendar.
First up, Ananta. This stylish open-world RPG is finally getting a full launch in January 2026. No more waiting around for trailers and teasers – you'll actually be able to dive into its neon-soaked streets and supernatural battles. If you've been itching to explore its urban fantasy setting, the wait is almost over.
But that's not all. Sea of Remnants, the pirate-themed multiplayer adventure, is set to enter beta this December. That means you'll get a chance to hoist the sails and test the waters before the full release. Beta access is always a golden ticket for eager players, so keep your eyes peeled for registration details.
Both games are coming from NetEase, and they're clearly aiming to make a splash in the RPG scene. Ananta has been building hype with its flashy combat and deep story, while Sea of Remnants promises naval exploration and cooperative gameplay. With such close release windows, it's going to be a busy start to 2026 for RPG fans.
Now, here's the thing – these announcements came straight from the Opening Night Live stage, so you know they're official. If you're like us, you're probably already planning your gaming schedule around these dates. January might feel far away, but with beta in December, you'll have a taste of the sea before the new year even starts.
So, are you ready to jump into Ananta's world this January? Or will you be setting sail in Sea of Remnants' beta this December? Let us know which one's on your radar – or if you're brave enough to tackle both!
